[3567] 143 - (1443) It was narrated from 'Amīr bin Sa'd bin Abī Waqqāsh that Usāmah bin Zaid told his father Sa'd bin Abī Waqqāsh that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "I withdraw (Azl) from my wife." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to him: "Why do you do that?" The man said: "Out of compassion towards her child, or, her children." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If that was harmful, it would have harmed the Persians and Romans." Zuhair said in his report: "If it is because of that, then no (do not do it), for that does not harm the Persians and Romans."
