Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and he said, 'He who can afford to
marry should marry, because it will help him refrain from looking at other
women, and save his private parts from looking at other women, and save his
private parts from committing illegal sexual relation; and he who cannot
afford to marry is advised to fast, as fasting will diminish his sexual
power."

Fasting

Narrated Al-Bara (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

It was the custom among the companions of Muhammad (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) that if any of them was fasting and the food was presented (for
breaking his fast), but he slept before eating, he would not eat that night
and the following day till sunset.

Qais bin Sirma-al-Ansari was fasting and came to his wife at the time of
Iftar (breaking one's fast) and asked her whether she had anything to eat.
She replied, "No, but I would go and bring some for you." He used to do
hard work during the day, so he was overwhelmed by sleep and slept. When
his wife came and saw him, she said, "Disappointment for you." When it was
midday on the following day, he fainted and the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi
Wa Sallam) was informed about the whole matter and the following verses
were revealed: "You are permitted To go to your wives (for sexual relation)
At the night of fasting." So, they were overjoyed by it. And then Allah
also revealed: "And eat and drink Until the white thread Of dawn appears to
you Distinct from the black thread (of the night)." (2.187)

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Whoever gives two
kinds (of things or property) in charity for Allah's Cause, will be called
from the gates of Paradise and will be addressed, 'O slaves of Allah! Here
is prosperity.' So, whoever was amongst the people who used to offer their
prayers, will be called from the gate of the prayer; and whoever was
amongst the people who used to participate in Jihad, will be called from
the gate of Jihad; and whoever was amongst those who used to observe fasts,
will be called from the gate of Ar-Raiyan; whoever was amongst those who
used to give in charity, will be called from the gate of charity." Abu Bakr
said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle! No distress
or need will befall him who will be called from those gates. Will there be
any one who will be called from all these gates?" The Prophet (Sallallahu
'Alaihi Wa Sallam) replied, "Yes, and I hope you will be one of them."

A bedouin with unkempt hair came to Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

compulsory for me as regards the prayers." He replied: "You have to offer
perfectly the five compulsory prayers in a day and night (24 hours), unless
you want to pray Nawafil." The bedouin further asked, "Inform me what Allah
has made compulsory for me as regards fasting." He replied, "You have to
fast during the whole month of Ramadan, unless you want to fast more as
Nawafil." The bedouin further asked, "Tell me how much Zakat Allah has
enjoined on me." Thus, Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)
informed him about all the rules (i.e. fundamentals) of Islam. The bedouin
then said, "By Him Who has honored you, I will neither perform any Nawafil
nor will I decrease what Allah has enjoined on me. Allah's Apostle
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "If he is saying the truth, he will
succeed (or he will be granted Paradise)."

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) made a bond of brotherhood
between Salman and Abu Ad-Darda.' Salman paid a visit to Abu Ad-Darda' and
found Um Ad-Darda' dressed in shabby clothes and asked her why she was in
that state. She replied, "Your brother Abu Ad-Darda' is not interested in
(the luxuries of) this world." In the meantime Abu Ad-Darda' came and
prepared a meal for Salman. Salman requested Abu Ad-Darda' to eat (with
him), but Abu Ad-Darda' said, "I am fasting." Salman said, "I am not going
to eat unless you eat." So, Abu Ad-Darda' ate(with Salman). When it was
night and (a part of the night passed), Abu Ad-Darda' got up (to offer the
night prayer), but Salman told him to sleep and Abu Ad-Darda' slept. After
sometime Abu Ad-Darda' again got up but Salman told him to sleep. When it
was the last hours of the night, Salman told him to get up then, and both
of them offered the prayer. Salman told Abu Ad-Darda', "Your Lord has a
right on you, your soul has a right on you, and your family has a right on
you; so you should give the rights of all those who has a right on you."
Abu Ad-Darda' came to the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and
narrated the whole story. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said,
"Salman has spoken the truth."
