Chapter 8 What is disliked of not marrying and of getting castrated
باب مَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ التَّبَتُّلِ وَالْخِصَاءِ
Sahih al-Bukhari 5074
Narrated Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) prevented `Uthman bin Mazun from that (not marrying), and had he allowed him, we
would have got ourselves castrated.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، يَقُولُ لَقَدْ رَدَّ ذَلِكَ ـ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ، وَلَوْ أَجَازَ لَهُ التَّبَتُّلَ لاَخْتَصَيْنَا.
