Volume 1, Book 2, Number 18:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah's Apostle said, "A time will come that the best property of a Muslim will be sheep which he will take on the top of mountains and the places of rainfall (valleys) so as to flee with his religion from afflictions.(al-Fitna)"[Al-Bukhari]
The scholars of Hadith state that the meaning of 'al-fitan' is that scenario where there is widespread violation of the laws of Allah Ta'ala. In addition, for one to practice upon Islam it is extremely difficult and the means to practice are all but gone. Such a time is regarded as al-fitan.
This hadith is not promoting celibacy. Instead, it is highlighting the last resort to preserve one's faith.
