Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1171 — I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas
وَبِهِ : عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ أَكْثَرْتُمْ فِيهِ . فَإِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- قَالَ فِيهِ شَيْئًا ، فَهُوَ كَمَا قَالَ ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَالَ فِيهِ شَيْئًا ، فَأَنَا أَقُولُ فِيهِ : نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ فَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَاعْزِلُوا ، وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَلَا تَعْزِلُوا I " .
Za'idah bin Umayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about coitus interruptus ('azl), and he said: "You people have talked a great deal about this. If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said something about it, then it is as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said; and if he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say anything about it, then I say about it: 'Your wives are a tilth for you, so come to your tilth however you wish.' So if you wish, practise 'azl, and if you wish, do not practise 'azl."
