The Benefits of Marriage

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised young men to get married if they can afford it, as it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity.

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 said: 'O 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"'. (One of the narrators) 'Ali said: "Al-Amash was asked about the narrated of Ibrahim, so he (the questioner) said: 'Form Ibrahim, from 'Alqamah, from 'Abdullah; similarly?. Which he (Al-'Amash) replied: 'Yes.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised young men to get married if they can afford it as it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity. Ali then asked Al Amash about this narration from Ibrahim through Alqamah and Abdullah which he confirmed.
