Hadiths 7.3 to 7.5

7.3:
Narrated 'Alqama:
While I was with `Abdullah, `Uthman met him at Mina and said,
"O Abu `Abdur−Rahman ! I have something to say to you." So
both of them went aside and `Uthman said, "O Abu `Abdur−Rah.
man! Shall we marry you to a virgin who will make you remember
your past days?" When `Abdullah felt that he was not in need
of that, he beckoned me (to join him) saying, "O 'Alqama!"
Then I heard him saying (in reply to `Uthman), "As you have
said that, (I tell you that) the Prophet once said to us, 'O
young people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should
marry, and whoever is not able to marry, is recommended to
fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.

7.4:
Narrated `Abdullah: We were with the Prophet while we were
young and had no wealth whatever. So Allah's Apostle said, "O
young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry,
because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty
(i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual
intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should
fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power."

7.5:
Narrated 'Ata:
We presented ourselves along with Ibn `Abbas at the funeral
procession of Maimuna at a place called Sarif. Ibn `Abbas
said, "This is the wife of the Prophet so when you lift her
bier, do not Jerk it or shake it much, but walk smoothly
because the Prophet had nine wives and he used to observe the
night turns with eight of them, and for one of them there was
no night turn."
