English translation
1138. Abū Sa'eed narrated: "‘Azl was mentioned before the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he said: 'Why would one of you do that?'" (Saḥīḥ) (Abū 'Eisā said:) In his narration, Ibn Abī 'Umar added: "And he did not say: 'None of you should do that.'" In both narrations they said: "For there is no soul to be created except that Allāh will create it."[1] (He said:) There is something on this from Jābir. (Abū 'Eisā said:) The Hadīth of Abū Sa'eed is a Hasan Saḥīḥ Hadīth. It has been reported through other routes from Abū Sa'eed. There are those among the people of knowledge, from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others, who disliked 'Azl.
