Sunan an-Nasa'i 3216

Muhammad ibn Abd Allah al-Khalanji reported to us; he said: Abu Said, the freedman of Banu Hashim, narrated to us; he said: Husayn ibn Nafi al-Mazini narrated to us; he said: al-Hasan narrated to me, from Sad ibn Hisham, that he entered upon the Mother of the Believers, Aishah. He said: I told her, ‘I want to ask you about renouncing marriage. What do you think of it?’ She said: ‘Do not do that. Have you not heard Allah, Mighty and Majestic, say: “We sent messengers before you and made for them wives and offspring”? So do not renounce marriage.’
