The answer

The narration, "Three are rightfully aided by Allah: the one who strives in the way of Allah, the indentured servant (mukātab) who desires to pay his freedom, and the one who marries desiring chastity," is a ḥasan (good) hadith. The most difficult of these matters is chastity, as it involves suppressing an inherent carnal desire. However, with Allah's assistance, a person can ascend. Marriage is among the matters that bring sustenance and dispel poverty.
