Waki' narrated to us from Sufyan, from Dawud ibn Abi Hind, from a shaykh who heard Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) say: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'There will come upon people a time when a man will be given the choice between incapacity and immorality, so let him choose incapacity over immorality.'
