Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam ‘ala Rasulillah
Narrated ‘Abdullah (Radi-Allahu ‘anhu):
We were with the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam) while we were
young and had no wealth whatever. So Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi
Wa Sallam) said, “O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should
marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e.
his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and
whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his
sexual power.”
