حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ كُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ شَبَابٌ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا نِسَاءٌ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا نَسْتَخْصِي فَنَهَانَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3706
It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said: We were on a campaign with the Prophet (PBUH), and we were young men and had no wives with us. We said: O Messenger of Allah, can we not castrate ourselves? But he forbade us to do that.
