tabarani:11304ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Salm al-Rāzī > Sahl b. ʿUthmān

[Machine] A man complained to the Prophet ﷺ about being single, so he said, "Shouldn't I marry?" The Prophet replied, "No, he is not one of us who gets married or seeks marriage. However, fast and keep your body hair well-groomed."  

الطبراني:١١٣٠٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ثنا مُعَلَّى الْجُعْفِيُّ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ وَعَطَاءٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

شَكا رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْعُزوبةَ فَقَالَ أَلَا أَخْتَصِي؟ فَقَالَ «لَا لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ خَصَى أَوِ اخْتَصَى وَلَكِنْ صُمْ وَوَفِّرْ شَعَرَ جَسَدِكَ»
