جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي طَوْلٌ فَأَنْكِحَ النِّسَاءَ فَإِلَيْكَ أَشْكُو الْعُزُوبِيَّةَ فَقَالَ وَفِّرْ شَعْرَ جَسَدِكَ وَ أَدِمِ الصِّيَامَ فَفَعَلَ فَذَهَبَ مَا بِهِ مِنَ الشَّبَقِ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, raising it, said, ‘A man came over to the Prophet<sup>asws</sup>, so he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>asws</sup>! There is no affordability with me to marry the women, therefore I complain to you<sup>asws</sup> of the bachelorhood’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Let grow the hair of your body and be habitually of the Fasting’. So he did do and the lust which was with him went away’.
