Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39606 — What I have preserved

Ibn Muhayriz says: Abu Sirmah al-Mazini and I went to Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him about coitus interruptus ('azl). He replied: We took noble daughters of the Arabs captive. We captured the women of Banu al-Mustaliq, and we intended to practice 'azl (with them), and we were eager to receive ransom. Some of us said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is present among you, and you practice 'azl?" So we came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we have taken noble daughters of the Arabs captive. We have made the women of Banu al-Mustaliq captives. We intend to practice 'azl, and we are eager to receive ransom." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no harm upon you if you do not do it, for any soul that Allah Almighty has written is to exist until the Day of Resurrection will certainly come into being."
