Chapter Eleven: <strong>The</strong> Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> ef the $iifls<br />

And Sa'd <strong>Ibn</strong> Abi Waqqa (rat#yA/lahu 'anhu) said: Allah's Messenger<br />

() rejected 'Uthman <strong>Ibn</strong> Maqh'iin's request of celibacy. Had<br />

he () given permission for it, we would have castrated ourselves<br />

Anas <strong>Ibn</strong> Malik (racj!J.Alldhu 'anhu) said: Three people came to the<br />

houses of the wives of the Prophet () asking about the worship<br />

of the Prophet (). When they were told, it was as if they regarded<br />

it as too little. <strong>The</strong>y said: Who are we in comparison to the Prophet<br />

()? Allah has forgiven his past and future sins. One of them said:<br />

As for me, I will pray all night forever. Another said: I shall fast all<br />

my life and never break my fast. <strong>The</strong> third said: I shall keep away<br />

from women and never get married. <strong>The</strong>reupon the Messenger of<br />

Allah (), after praising Allah said: "Are you the ones who said such<br />

and such? By Allah, I am the one who fears Allah the most among<br />

you and I am the most pious, but I fast and I break my fast, I pray<br />

and I sleep, and I marry women. Whoever turns away from my<br />

Sunnah is not of me."226<br />

A}:imad lbn Hanbal said: "Celibacy has no part in Islam. <strong>The</strong><br />

Prophet () married fourteen wives, nine of who survived him."<br />

He also said: If people did not get married, they would not have<br />

gone to battle, or performed pilgrimage. Allah's Messenger () used<br />

to encourage getting married despite poverty. He used to forbid<br />

from celibacy. So whoever does not adhere to the Messenger's<br />

Sunnah is not on the right path.<br />

[Prophet] Ya'qiib ('alayhis-sakim) got married during his sorrows<br />

and had children. And our Prophet () said: "Women have been<br />

endeared to me."227<br />
