These clear Ayat include a group of unambiguous rulings and firm commands.
وَأَنكِحُوا الاْأَيَامَى مِنكُمْ
And marry the unmarried among you
This is a command to marry.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "O young men, whoever among you can afford to get married, let him marry, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and protecting the private parts. Whoever cannot do that, then let him fast, for it is a protection for him."
This was recorded in the Two Sahihs from the Hadith of Ibn Masud.
In the Sunan, it was recorded from more than one person that the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said: "Marry and have children, for I will be proud of you before the nations on the Day of Resurrection."
وَالصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَإِمَايِكُمْ
And the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves.
إِن يَكُونُوا فُقَرَاء يُغْنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ
If they are poor, ALLĀH will enrich them out of HIS bounty.
Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn Abbas: "ALLĀH encouraged them to get married, commanded both free men and servants to get married, and HE promised to enrich them."
It was recorded that Ibn Masud said:
"Seek the richness through marriage, for ALLĀH says:
وَالصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَإِمَايِكُمْ
If they be poor, ALLĀH will enrich them out of His bounty" {Ibn Jarir}
It was reported from Al-Layth from Muhammad bin Ajlan from Sa`id Al-Maqburi from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said: "There are three whom it is a right upon ALLĀH to help: one who gets married seeking chastity; a slave who makes a contract with his master with the aim of buying his freedom; and one who fights for the sake of ALLĀH."
This was recorded by Imam Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah.
The Prophet performed the marriage of a man who owned nothing but his waist wrap, and could not even buy a ring made of iron, but he still married him to that woman, making the Mahr his promise to teach her whatever he knew of the Qur'an.
And it is known from the generosity and kindness of ALLĀH that HE provided him with whatever was sufficient for her and for him.
{Tafsir Ibn Kathir}
