وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْبَاءَةِ، وَيَنْهَى عَنِ التَّبَتُّلِ نَهْيًا شَدِيدًا، وَيَقُولُ: «تَزَوَّجُوا اَلْوَدُودَ اَلْوَلُودَ. إِنِّي مُكَاثِرٌ بِكُمُ اَلْأَنْبِيَاءَ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ»
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to command us to marry and sternly forbid celibacy and say, “Marry women who are beloved (due to their good characteristics), prolific in bearing children, for I shall outnumber the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) s by you on the Day of Resurrection.”.
