Narrated Sa'd bin Hisham: It was narrated from Sa'd bin Hisham that he came to the Mother of the Believers, 'Aishah. He said: I want to ask you about celibacy, what do you think about it? She said: Do not do that; have you not heard that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, says: 'And indeed We sent Messengers before you, and made for them wives and offspring'? So do not be celibate.
