َثَنِي قَيْسٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَلَيْسَ لَنَا نِسَاءٌ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ نَسْتَخْصِي فَنَهَانَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ.
English Translation
Ibn Masud (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that we used to fight in the holy battles in the company of the Prophet ﷺ and we had no wives with us. So we said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! Shall we get castrated?" the Prophet ﷺ forbade us to do so
