Chapter 18 · The Book of Marriage
Sahih

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، يَقُولُ: «أَرَادَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ أَنْ يَتَبَتَّلَ، فَنَهَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَوْ أَجَازَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ لَاخْتَصَيْنَا».

Uthman bin Maz'un رضی اللہ عنہ decided to live in celibacy, but Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم) forbade him to do so, and if he had permitted him, we would have got ourselves castrated.
