Those who disliked azl and did not permit it

Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to regard withdrawal ('azl) as disliked (makruh), and they ordered people to take a ritual bath after it.

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib said: Some of the Muhajirun used to regard withdrawal ('azl) as disliked (makruh); among them, along with others, was Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Withdrawal ('azl) is the hidden burying alive (of a child).

Maymun bin Mihran said: Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) bought a slave-girl for his son. Some time later he said: Why does she not become pregnant? Perhaps you practise withdrawal ('azl) with her! If I find out, I will beat you.

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said about withdrawal ('azl): I would not expect it of any Muslim.

Salim said: Withdrawal ('azl) is the hidden burying alive (of a child).

Al-Aswad used to regard withdrawal ('azl) as disliked (makruh).

Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Once a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I could only escape from the polytheists to you with a single slave-girl, and I practise withdrawal ('azl) with her, as I want to sell her in the market. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What was decreed for her has come to her.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The women of Banu al-Mustaliq fell into our hands as captives. We had intercourse with them and practised withdrawal ('azl). Then one day I was in the market of Banu Qaynuqa with a slave-girl when a Jew passed by me and said: O Abu Sa'id, what is this slave-girl? I said: She is my slave-girl and I want to sell her. He asked: Have you had intercourse with her? I said: Yes. He said: You want to sell her, while it may be that your offspring is in her womb. I said: I used to practise withdrawal with her. He said: That is the lesser burying alive (of a child). I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and related the whole incident to him, and he said: The Jews have lied, the Jews have lied.

Abdullah bin Muhayriz said: Sayyiduna Abu Sirmah al-Mazini (may Allah be pleased with him) and I came, and we heard Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate the same thing that Abu Salamah and Abu Umamah were narrating: that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Jews have lied. At the end of this hadith he said: There is no harm upon you if you do not do it, for Allah Almighty has decreed what He will create of His creation until the Day of Resurrection.
