It was narrated that 'Alqamah bin Qais said: "I was with 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud in Mina, and 'Uthman took him aside. I was sitting near him. 'Uthman said to him: 'Would you like that I marry you to a young virgin who will remind you of how you were in the past?' When 'Abdullah saw that he did not want to say anything to him apart from that, he gestured to me, so I came and he said: 'As you say that, the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: "0 young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity. Whoever cannot afford it, let him fast, for it will diminish his desire." (Sahih)
