Ibn Masud رضی اللہ عنہ met 'Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ at 'Arafat and spoke to him in private. Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ said to Ibn Masud رضی اللہ عنہ : Are you interested in a girl so that I marry her to you? 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ called 'Alqamah and he told him that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: 'Whoever among you can afford to get married, let him do so. Whoever cannot afford it, let him fast, for fasting will be a restraint (Wija) for him. '
