رُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "مَنْ تَرَكَ اَلتَّزْوِيجَ مَخَافَةَ اَلْفَقْرِ فَقَدْ أَسَاءَ اَلظَّنَّ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ: إِنْ يَكُونُوا فُقَرٰاءَ يُغْنِهِمُ اَللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ".
It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, from Hariz, from al-Walid, who said that Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: "Whoever avoids marriage out of fear of poverty has thought poorly of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Glorious. Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Glorious, says: 'If they are poor, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will enrich them out of His bounty' (Surah An-Nur 24:32)."

وَ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: "مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَلْقَى اَللَّهَ طَاهِراً مُطَهَّراً فَلْيَلْقَهُ بِزَوْجَةٍ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ اَلتَّزْوِيجَ مَخَافَةَ اَلْعَيْلَةِ فَقَدْ أَسَاءَ اَلظَّنَّ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ".
The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Whoever desires to meet Allah سبحانه وتعالى in a state of purity and purification, let him meet Him with a spouse. And whoever avoids marriage out of fear of poverty has thought poorly of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Glorious."
