أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسٌ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ زَحْزَحَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ عَنْ النَّارِ بِذَلِکَ الْيَوْمِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2250
It was narrated that ‘Abdur Rahman bin Yazid said: “We entered upon ‘Abdullah along with ‘Alqamah, Al-Aswad and a group (of others). He told us a Hadith which he only narrated to the people because of me, as I was the youngest of them. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘young men, whoever among you can afford to get married let him do so, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one’s chastity.” (Sahih) (One of the narrators) ‘Ali said: “Al-’Amash was asked about the narration of Ibrahim, so he (the questioner) said: ‘From Ibrahim, from ‘Alqamah, from ‘Abdullah; similarly?. To which he (Al-’Amash) replied: ‘Yes.’(Sahih)
