وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عِمْرَانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا، يَقُولُ: «رُدَّ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ التَّبَتُّلُ، وَلَوْ أُذِنَ لَهُ لَاخْتَصَيْنَا.

I heard Sa'd (bin Abi Waqqas) saying that the idea of 'Uthman bin Maz'un ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ for living in celibacy was rejected (by the Holy Prophet ﷺ), and if he had been given permission they would have got themselves castrated.
