Narrated Alqamah: It was narrated that Alqamah said: "I was with Ibn Masud while he was with Uthman (RA), and Uthman said: The Messenger of Allah came out to some fityah (young men) - Abu AbdurRahman said, I did not understand (the word) fityah as I would want- and said: Whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity, and whoever cannot, then fasting will be a restraint (wija) for him.
