2335 - (ق) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ قَالَ: رَدَّ رَسُولُ الله صلّى الله عليه وسلّم عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ التَّبَتُّلَ [1] ، وَلَوْ أَذِنَ لَهُ لاخْتَصَيْنَا [2] .
Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade ‘Uthmān ibn Mazh‘ūn to be celibate. If he had given him permission we would have castrated ourselves.
