It was narrated from 'Alqamah and Al-Aswad that 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah said to us: 'Whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, and whoever cannot then he should fast, for it will be a restraint (wija') for him.'" Abu Abdur-Rahman said: (The mention of) Al-Aswad in this hadith is not preserved. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3208)
قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَسْوَدُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ
