عَن عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ البَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ، فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ، وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ».
Kutoka kwa Abdallah bin Masudi radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake amesema: Siku moja tulikuwa pamoja na Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akasema: "Enyi kongamano la vijana mwenye uwezo miongoni mwenu wa kuoa na aoe, kwani ndoa ni sababu ya kuinamisha macho na kulinda tupu, na asiekuwa na uwezo basi ajilazimishe kufunga, hakika funga kwake itakata matamanio".
‘Abdullāh ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were in the company of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "Those who can afford marriage should marry, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity. He who cannot afford it should fast, for indeed it serves as a restraint for him."
Uislamu umechunga sana sababu za mtu kujizuia na machafu na kusalimika na machafu.
Himizo la kufunga swaum kwa ambaye hatoweza gharama za ndoa; kwa sababu hudhoofisha matamanio.
Kufunga kunafananishwa na kuhasiwa; Kwa sababu kuhasi ni kuchubua mishipa ya korodani mbili, na kwa kitendo hicho hupotea matamani ya tendo la ndoa, hivyo hivyo swaumu hudhoofisha hamu ya tendo la ndoa.
