Mas'ud) (Allaah be pleased with him) reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to us: 0 young men, those among you who can support a wife should marry, for it restrains eyes (from casting evil glances) and preserves one from immorality; but he who cannot afford It should observe fast for it is a means of controlling the sexual desire.
