Mukhtasar Sahih Al-Bukhariعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قالَ : جَاءَ ثَلاثَةُ رَهْطٍ إِلَى بُيُوتِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ (ﷺ) ، يَسْأَلُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَةِ النَّبِيِّ (ﷺ) ، فَلَمَّا أُخْبِرُوا كَأَنَّهُمْ تَقَالُوهَا ، فَقَالُوا : وَأَيْنَ نَحْنُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ (ﷺ) قَدْ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ، فَقالَ أَحَدُهُمْ : أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي أُصَلِّي اللَّيْلَ أَبَدًا، وَقالَ آخَرُ : أَنَا أَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ وَلاَ أُفْطِرُ، وَقالَ آخَرُ : أَنَا أَعْتَزِلُ النِّسَاءَ فَلاَ أَتَزَوَّجُ أَبَدًا، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ﷺ) فَقَالَ : (أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ قُلْتُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَخْشَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَتْقَاكُمْ لَهُ، لَكِنِّي أَصُومُ وَأُفطِرُ، وَأُصَلِّي وَأَرْقُدُ، وَأَتَزَوَّجُ النِّسَاءَ، فَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْس مِنِّي).
Narrated Anas bin Mâlik
A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) asking how the Prophet (ﷺ) worshipped (Allâh), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, "Where are we from the Prophet (ﷺ) as his past and future sins have been forgiven." Then one of them said, "I will offer the (prayer) throughout the night forever." The other said, "I will observe Șaum (fast) throughout the year and will not break my Saum (fast)." The third said, "I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever. Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) came to them and said, "Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allâh, I am more submissive to Allâh and more afraid of Him than you; yet I observe Saum (fast) and also do not observe Saum (fast), I do offer Salât (prayer) and also do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my As-Sunna (legal ways) in religion, is not from me (not one of my followers) ". [7:1-O.B]
60/2 Chapter:
What is disliked of not marrying and of getting castrated.
باب: مَا يُكْرَهُ مِنْ التَّبَتُل وَالخِصَاءِ
1829
Mukhtasar Sahih Al-Bukhariعَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : رَدَّ النَّبِيُّ (ﷺ) عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْن مَظْعُونِ الثَّبَتَّلَ، وَلَوْ أَذِنَ لَهُ لاَخْتَصَيْنَا.
Narrated Sa'd bin Abi Waqqâs
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not allow Uthmân bin Maz'ûn to keep away from marrying, and if he had allowed him, we would have gotten ourselves castrated. [1] [7:11-O.B]
Explanation & Scholarly Notes (Sharh):
[1] Sa'd, by saying, "We would have ourselves castrated," did not mean the actual castration, but he meant excessive abstention from all kinds of pleasures, for castration is forbidden in Islam.
1830
Mukhtasar Sahih Al-Bukhariعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ شَابٌ، وَأَنَا أَخَافُ عَلَى نَفْسِي الْعَنَتَ، وَلَا أَجِدُ مَا أَتَزَوَّجُ بِهِ النِّسَاءَ، فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ مِثْلَ ذلِكَ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي ثُمَّ قُلْتُ مِثْلَ ذلِكَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ (ﷺ) : (يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَة، جَفَّ الْعَلَمُ بِمَا أَنْتَ لَاقٍ؛ فَاخْتَصِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَوْ ذَرْ) .
Narrated Abu Huraira
I said, "O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! I am a young man and I am afraid that I may commit illegal sexual intercourse and I cannot afford to marry." He kept silent, and then I repeated my question once again, but he kept silent. I said the same (for the third time) and he remained silent. Then I repeated my question (for the fourth time), and only then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Huraira ! The pen has dried after writing what you are going to confront. [1] So (it does not matter whether you) get yourself castrated or not, [2] [7:13 (B)-O.B]
Explanation & Scholarly Notes (Sharh):
[1] Your fate has been destined for you.
[2] (This means:) You cannot change your destined fate by getting castrated, so there is no benefit in doing so.

Mukhtasar Sahih Al-Bukhariعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قالَتْ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ نَزَلْتَ وَادِيًا وَفِيهِ شَجَرَةٌ قَدْ أُكِلَ مِنْهَا ، وَوَجَدْتَ شَجَرَةٌ لَمْ يُؤْكَلْ مِنْهَا، فِي أَيُّهَا كنتَ تُرْتِعُ بَعِيرَكَ؟ قَالَ: (في الَّتِي لَمْ يُرْتَعْ مِنْهَا. تَعْنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (ﷺ) لَمْ يَتَزَوَّجُ بِكْرًا غَيْرَهَا .
Narrated Äisha
I said, "O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! Suppose you landed in a valley where there is a tree of which something has been eaten and then you found trees of which nothing has been eaten, of which tree would you let your camel graze?" He said, "(I will let my camel graze) of the one of which nothing has been eaten before." (the subnarrator added: Āisha meant that Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) had not married a virgin besides herself.) [7:14-O.B]
60/4 Chapter:
The marrying of a young lady to an elderly man.
باب: تَزْوِيجِ الصَّغَارِ مِنَ الكِبَارِ

Narrated Aisha
The Prophet (ﷺ) asked Abu Bakr for (Aisha's) hand in marriage. Bakr said, But I am your brother." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You are my brother in Allâh's Religion and His Book, but she ('Aisha) is lawful for me to marry." " [7:18-0.B]
