us. So we said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ). "Shall we castrate ourselves?" But the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade us to do that
and thenceforth he allowed us to marry a woman (temporarily) by giving her even a garment, and then
he recited: "O you who believe! Do not make unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful
