حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ

قَالَ بَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي، مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رضى الله عنه فَقَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ، فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ»

While I was walking with Abdullah he said, “We were in the company of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and he said, ‘He who can afford to marry should marry, because it will help him refrain from looking at other women, and save his private parts from committing illegal sexual relation; and he who cannot afford to marry is advised to fast, as fasting will diminish his sexual power.’”

‘আলকামাহ (রহ.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি ‘আবদুল্লাহ (রাঃ)-এর সঙ্গে চলতে ছিলাম, তখন তিনি বললেন, আমরা আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর সাথে ছিলাম, তিনি বললেনঃ যে ব্যক্তির সামর্থ্য আছে, সে যেন বিয়ে করে নেয়। কেননা বিয়ে চোখকে অবনত রাখে এবং লজ্জাস্থানকে সংযত করে। আর যার সামর্থ্য নেই, সে যেন সওম পালন করে। সওম তার প্রবৃত্তিকে দমন করে। আবূ ‘আবদুল্লাহ (রহ.) বলেন, الْبَاءَةَ শব্দে অর্থ বিবাহ। (৫০৬৫, ৫০৬৬)

ہم سے عبدان نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابوحمزہ نے، ان سے اعمش نے، ان سے ابراہیم نے ان سے علقمہ نے بیان کیا کہ میں عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ کے ساتھ جا رہا تھا۔

آپ نے کہا کہ ہم نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے ساتھ تھے تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا اگر کوئی صاحب طاقت ہو تو اسے نکاح کر لینا چاہئے کیونکہ نظر کو نیچی رکھنے اور شرمگاہ کو بدفعلی سے محفوظ رکھنے کا یہ ذریعہ ہے اور کسی میں نکاح کرنے کی طاقت نہ ہو تو اسے روزے رکھنے چاہئیں کیونکہ وہ اس کی شہوت کو ختم کر دیتا ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdan] dari [Abu Hamzah] dari [Al A'masy] dari [Ibrahim] dari ['Alqamah] berkata; Ketika aku sedang berjalan bersama ['Abdullah radliallahu 'anhu], dia berkata: Kami pernah bersama Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam yang ketika itu Beliau bersabda: "Barangsiapa yang sudah mampu (menafkahi keluarga), hendaklah dia kawin (menikah) karena menikah itu lebih bisa menundukkan pandangan dan lebih bisa menjaga kemaluan.

Barangsiapa yang tidak sanggup (manikah) maka hendaklah dia berpuasa karena puasa itu akan menjadi benteng baginya

Alkame İbn Kays en-Nehaî şöyle demiştir: Abdullah İbn Mes'ud (r.a.) ile birlikte yürüyordum. Bu sırada şöyle dedi: "Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem, kendisi ile beraber bulunduğumuz bir sırada şöyle buyurdu: "Evlenmeye gücü yeten ve imkanı olan kimse hemen evlensin. Çünkü gözü ve namusu (haramdan) korumada evlilik en etkili yoldur. Evlenmeye gücü yetmeyenler ise oruç tutsunlar. Çünkü oruç kişinin şehvetini kırar." Tekrar:

Sahih al-Bukhari 1905, Book 30, Fasting, Hadith 15. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) urged those who are able to have sexual intercourse and afford the expenses of marriage to marry, as it protects their sight from what is forbidden, keeps their private parts more chaste, and prevents them from falling into immorality. As for those who cannot afford the expenses of marriage yet can have sexual intercourse, they should observe fast, as it undermines the desire of the private parts and stops the evil of semen.

What it teaches

  • Islam is keen on the causes of chastity and safety from immoralities.
  • It urges those who cannot afford the expenses of marriage to observe fast, for it weakens sexual desire.
  • Fasting is described as a restraint (Wijā’ in Arabic), for Wijā’ means cutting off the veins of the two testicles, which eliminates one's libido; likewise, fasting weakens sexual desire.
