Hasten To Marry
Tradition n. 259
قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:
اِنَّ الأبكارَ بِمَنزِلَة الثَّمَـرِ عَلَى الشَّجَـرِ إذا اَدرَكَ ثَمَـرُهُ فَلَـم يُجتَنَ اَفسَدَتهُ الشَّمسُ وَ نَثَرَت ـهُ الرِّياحُ وَ كَذلِكَ الاَبكارُ إذا اَدرَك نَ ما يُدرِكُ النّـِساءُ فَلَيسَ لَهُـنَّ دَواءٌ اِلاَّ البُعُولَةُ و إلاّ لَـم يُؤمَن عليهنَّ الفَسادُ لأِ نَّهُنَّ بَشَرٌ.
The Holy Prophet (S) said: “Verily, maidens are like fruits of a tree; when its fruits ripen and are not reaped, sunshine ruins them and the wind scatters them. Maidens are in the same situation. When they comprehend what the women perceive, there is no remedy for them save a husband. If they are not given in marriage, they will not be secured from corruption, because they are human beings, too. (They have the same human instincts and temperament as others).”

Tradition n. 261
قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:
يا مَعشَرَ الشَّبابِ مَنِ استَطاعَ مِنكُم الباهَ فَليَتَزَوَّج فَاِنَّهُ اَغَضُّ لِلبَصَرِ وَاَحصَنُ لِلفَر جِ.
The Holy Prophet (S) said: “O' young people! If one of you is capable of marrying, then do it, because it is good for your eyes (not to stare at women) and protects your privy part (to remain more pious).

Tradition n. 260
قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:
ما مِن شابٍّ تَزَوَّجَ فِي حَداثَة سِنِّهِ إلاّ عَجَّ شَيطانُهُ يا وَيلَهُ، يا وَيلَهُ عَصَمَ مِنِّي ثُلثَي دِينِهِ.
The Holy Prophet (S) said: “Any young man who marries at the beginning of his youth, his devil moans and intensively regrets that he has protected two-third of his Faith from Satan.”

قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:
إِنَّهُ نَهى عَنِ التَّبَتُّلِ وَ نَهَى النِّساءَ أَن يَتَبَتَّل نَ وَ يَق طَع نَ أَن فُسَهُنَّ مِنَ الأَزواجِ.
The Holy Prophet (S) forbade the life of celibacy, and prohibited women from living in chastity and allowing their selves to remain unmarried.”
