Bukhari
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 3:
Narrated 'Alqama:
While I was with Abdullah, 'Uthman
met him at Mina and said, "O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman ! I have
something to say to you." So both of them went aside and 'Uthman
said, "O Abu 'Abdur-Rah. man! Shall we marry you to a virgin
who will make you remember your past days?" When 'Abdullah
felt that he was not in need of that, he beckoned me (to join him)
saying, "O 'Alqama!" Then I heard him saying (in reply
to 'Uthman), "As you have said that, (I tell you that) the
Prophet once said to us, 'O young people! Whoever among you is
able to marry, should marry, and whoever is not able to marry, is
recommended to fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.
