Chapter on the Superiority of the Married Person Over the Unmarried Person

قَالَ وَ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: "لَرَكْعَتَانِ يُصَلِّيهِمَا مُتَزَوِّجٌ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ عَزَبٍ يَقُومُ لَيْلَهُ وَ يَصُومُ نَهَارَهُ ".
The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Two units of prayer performed by a married person are better than an unmarried man who spends his nights in prayer and his days fasting."
