Bayhaqi 14319 — Coitus interruptus ('azl)

وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْمَازِنِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ فَجَاءَ ابْنُ فَهْدٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، إِنَّ عِنْدِي جَوَارٍ لَيْسَ نِسَائِي اللَّاتِي أُكِنُّ بِأَعْجَبَ إِلِيَّ مِنْهُنَّ، وَلَيْسَ كُلُّهُنَّ يُعْجِبُنِي أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَ مِنِّي أَفَأَعْزِلُ؟ فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ: أَفْتِهِ يَا حَجَّاجُ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ إِنَّمَا نَجْلِسُ إِلَيْكَ نَتَعَلَّمُ مِنْكَ، قَالَ: أَفْتِهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: " هُوَ حَرْثُكَ إِنْ شِئْتَ سَقَيْتَهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَعْطَشْتَهُ "، قَالَ: وَكُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ زَيْدٍ، فَقَالَ: " صَدَقَ ".
Hajjaj bin Amr bin Ghaziyyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting with Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) when Ibn Fahd, a man from Yemen, came and said (to Zayd): "O Abu Sa'id, I have slave girls; the wives I keep are not more pleasing to me than they are, and I do not like all of them to become pregnant by me. Should I practise 'azl?" Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Hajjaj, give him a fatwa." Hajjaj said: "May Allah forgive you, we sit with you only to learn." He said: "Give him a fatwa." Hajjaj said: I said: "She is your tillage [Surah al-Baqarah: 223]; if you wish, water it, or if you wish, keep it thirsty." Hajjaj said: I used to hear that from Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "He has spoken the truth."
