أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ عُمَارَة ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، قَال : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّه : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَبَابًا لَيْسَ لَنَا شَيْءٌ، فَقَال : " يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَابِمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَة ، فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ، فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّ الصَّوْمَ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ "

Ya'la told us, Al-A'mash told us, on the authority of Amara, on the authority of Abdul Rahman bin Yazid, he said: Abdullah said: We were with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. He, peace and blessings of God be upon him, greeted young men who had nothing for us, and said: “O young men, whoever among you is able to do good, let him get married, for it will be more effective and more virtuous.” For relief, and whoever is not able, he must fast, for fasting is a reward for him.”
