The Prophet ﷺ prevented ʿUthman bin Mazun from that (not marrying), and had he allowed him, we would have got ourselves castrated. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5074)
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ يَقُولُ «لَقَدْ رَدَّ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ وَلَوْ أَجَازَ لَهُ التَّبَتُّلَ لَاخْتَصَيْنَا»
