"Alqamah said "I was going with "Abd Allaah bin Mas'ud at Mina where "Uthman met him and desired to have a talk with him in privacy" . When "Abd Allaah (bin Mas'ud) thought there was no need of privacy, he said to me "Come, "Alqamah So I came (to him)" . Then "Uthman said to him "Should we not marry you, Abu "Abd Al Rahman to a virgin girl, so that the power you have lost may return to you?" "Abd Allaah (bin Mas'ud) said "If you say that , I heard the Apostle of Allaah (ﷺ) say " Those of you who can support a wife, should marry, for it keeps you from looking at strange women and preserve from unlawful intercourse, but those who cannot should devote themselves to fasting, for it is a means of suppressing sexual desire.
