Hadith - Muslim, #3233 'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported that Allah's Messenger said to us: O 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. The Noble Qur'an - An-Nur 24:33 And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah enriches them of His Bounty... Hadith - Bukhari 3:129, Narrated 'Alqama  While I was walking with 'Abdullah he said, "We were in the company of the Prophet and he said, 'He who can afford to marry should marry, because it will help him refrain from looking at other women, and save his private parts from committing illegal sexual relation; and he who cannot afford to marry is advised to fast, as fasting will diminish his sexual power.' " Hadith - Bukhari 7:1, Narrated Anas bin Malik  A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet asking how the Prophet worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, "Where are we from the Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven." Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the night forever." The other said, "I will fast throughout the year and will not break my fast." The third said, "I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever." Allah's Apostle came to them and said, "Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet I fast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my tradition in religion, is not from me (not one of my followers)." Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi #3124, narrated AbuUmamah  The Prophet said, "If any Muslim happens to look at a woman's beauties and then lowers his eyes, Allah will produce for him an act of worship whose sweetness he will experience." [Ahmad transmitted it.] Hadith - Muslim #5372, narrated Jarir ibn Abdullah  I asked Allah's Messenger about the sudden glance (that is cast) on the face (of a non-Mahram). He commanded me that I should turn away my eyes. Hadith - Bukhari 7.73, narrated Ibn Umar  The Prophet decreed that one should not try to cancel a bargain already agreed upon between some other persons (by offering a bigger price). And a man should not ask for the hand of a girl who is already engaged to his Muslim brother, unless the first suitor gives her up, or allows him to ask for her hand. Hadith - Bukhari 7.56, narrated Zainab bint Salama ...Ibn 'Abbas said, " 'Hint your intention of marrying' is made by saying (to the widow) for example: 'I want to marry, and I wish that Allah will make a righteous lady available for me.' " Al-Qasim said: -One may say to the widow: 'I hold all respect for you, and I am interested in you; Allah will bring you much good, or something similar.' " 'Ata said: "One should hint his intention, and should not declare it openly. One may say: 'I have some need. Have good tidings. Praise be to Allah; you are fit to remarry.' She (the widow) may say in reply: 'I am listening to what you say,' but she should not make a promise. Her guardian should not make a promise (to somebody to get her married to him) without her knowledge. But if, while still in the Iddat period, she makes a promise to marry somebody, and he ultimately marries her, they are not to be separated by divorce (i.e., the marriage is valid)."  Masculinity Hadith - Bukhari 7:773, Narrated Ibn 'Abbas  Allah's Apostle cursed those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of women and those women who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of men.  Marriage Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi # 3096, Narrated Anas ibn Malik  [Bayhaqi transmitted it in Shu'ab al-Iman] Allah's Messenger said, "When a man marries he has fulfilled half of the religion; so let him fear Allah regarding the remaining half."
Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi 3206, narrated Amir ibn Rabi'ah  A woman of the Banu Fazarah was married for a dower of two sandals. When Allah's Messenger asked whether she was satisfied with two sandals regarding her person and her property and she replied that she was, he gave his approval. [Tirmidhi transmitted it.] The Noble Qur'an - Ar-Rum 30:21 And from among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect. The Noble Qur'an - Al-A'raf 7:189 It is He Who has created you from a single person (Adam), and (then) He has created from him his wife (Eve), in order that he might enjoy the pleasure of living with her...
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Baqarah 2:221 And do not marry Al-Mushrikat (idolatresses etc.) till they believe (worship Allah Alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a (free) Mushrikah (idolatress etc.), even though she pleases you. And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikun till they believe (in Allah Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better than a (free Mushrik (idolater etc.), even though he pleases you. Those (Al-Mushrikun) invite you to the Fire, but Allah invites (you) to Paradise and Forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to mankind that they may remember. Hadith - Muwatta 28.1 Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah said, "Do not ask for a woman in marriage when another Muslim has already done so." Hadith - Bukhari 7:127 Allah's Apostle said, "O 'Abdullah! Have I not been formed that you fast all the day and stand in prayer all night?" I said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Do not do that! Observe the fast sometimes and also leave them (the fast) at other times; stand up for the prayer at night and also sleep at night. Your body has a right over you, your eyes have a right over you and your wife has a right over you." Hadith - Bukhari 8:68 (Volume 8, Book 73, Number 68), Narrated 'Abdullah bin Zam'a  The Prophet forbade laughing at a person who passes wind, and said, "How does anyone of you beat his wife as he beats the stallion camel and then he may embrace (sleep with) her?" Hadith - Muslim, Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar  Zadhan AbuUmar said: I came to Ibn Umar as he had granted freedom to a slave. He (the narrator further) said: He took hold of a wood or something like it from the earth and said: It (freedom of a slave) has not the reward even equal to it, but the fact that I heard Allah's Messenger say: He who slaps his slave or beats him, the expiation for it is that he should set him free. Hadith - Muslim, Narrated AbuMas'ud al-Ansari  I was beating my slave with a whip when I heard a voice behind me: Understand, AbuMas'ud; but I did not recognise the voice due to intense anger. He (AbuMas'ud) reported: As he came near me (I found) that he was the Messenger of Allah and he was saying: Bear in mind, AbuMas'ud, bear in mind, AbuMas'ud. He (AbuMas'ud) said: I threw the whip from my hand. Thereupon he (the Prophet ) said: Bear in mind, AbuMas'ud; verily Allah has more dominance upon you than you have upon your slave. I (then) said: I would never beat my servant in the future. Hadith - Tirmidhi, Narrated Amr ibn al-Ahwas al-Jushami  I said: Apostle of Allah, how should we approach our wives and how should we leave them? He replied:
Approach your tilth when or how you will*, give her (your wife) food when you take food, clothe when you clothe yourself, do not revile her face, and do not beat her. *meaning, you may have vaginal intercourse from any position. Hadith - Dawud, Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin  Habibah daughter of Sahl was the wife of Thabit ibn Qays Shimmas. He beat her and broke some of her part. So she came to the Prophet after morning, and complained to him against her husband. The Prophet called on Thabit ibn Qays and said (to him): Take a part of her property and separate yourself from her. He asked: Is that right, Apostle of Allah? He said: Yes. He said: I have given her two gardens of mine as a dower, and they are already in her possession. The Prophet said: Take them and separate yourself from her.
