English translation

[3544] 125 - (1438) It was narrated from Ibn Muḥairiz that he said: "Abû Ṣirmah and I entered upon Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî, and Abû Ṣirmah asked him: 'Did you hear the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ speak about 'Azl'?' He said: 'Yes. We went on a campaign with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ to Banû Al-Muṣṭaliq, and we captured some noble Arab women. We had been away from our wives for too long, but we also wanted the ransom, so we wanted to have intercourse with them then withdraw (coitus interruptus). Then we said: "How could we do this when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ is among us, and we have not asked him?" So we asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for Allāh has not decreed that any soul will exist, until the Day of Resurrection, but it will come into being."

Arabic text

125 - (1438) وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي رَبِيعَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو صِرْمَةَ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، فَسَأَلَهُ أَبُو صِرْمَةَ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، هَلْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَذْكُرُ الْعَزْلَ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوَةَ بَلْمُصْطَلِقِ، فَسَبَيْنَا كَرَائِمَ الْعَرَبِ، فَطَالَتْ عَلَيْنَا الْعُزْبَةُ، وَرَغِبْنَا فِي الْفِدَاءِ، فَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَسْتَمْتِعَ وَنَعْزِلَ، فَقُلْنَا: نَفْعَلُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا لَا نَسْأَلُهُ، فَسَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ «لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا، مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ خَلْقَ نَسَمَةٍ هِيَ كَائِنَةٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، إِلَّا سَتَكُونُ»،
