Hadith 9:4
Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from 'Umarah ibn 'Umayr, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid, from 'Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said to us: "O assembly of youth, whoever among you is able to afford the *ba'ah* (marriage expenses/capability), let him marry, for it is more lowering to the gaze and more protective of the private parts. And whoever is not able, then upon him is fasting, for it is a shield for him."
حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن عمارة بن عمير عن عبد الرحمن بن يزيد عن عبد الله قال قال لنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يا معشر الشباب من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج فإنه أغض للبصر وأحصن للفرج ومن لم يستطع فعليه بالصوم فإنه له وجاء
