'Abdullâh said: 'If that is what you are telling me, (let me tell you that) the Messenger of Allah said to us: O young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity. And whoever cannot afford it should fast, for it will be a shield for him."
