It was narrated from ‘Alqamah and Al-Aswad that ‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said to us: ‘Whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, and whoever cannot then he should fast, for it will be a restraint (Wija’) for him.” (Sahih) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said: (The mention of) Al-Aswad in this Hadith is not preserved.
