حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ : قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَعْزِلُ فَزَعَمَتْ الْيَهُودُ أَنَّهَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ الصُّغْرَى ، فَقَالَ : " كَذَبَتْ الْيَهُودُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُ فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ " . قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ عُمَرَ ، وَالْبَرَاءِ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ .
´Jabir narrated:` "We said: 'O Messenger of Allah! We practice Azl, but the Jews claim that it is minor infanticide.' So he said: 'The Jews lie. When Allah wants to create it, nothing can prevent Him.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
‘Azl is that when ejaculation is near during intercourse, a man withdraws his sexual organ from the private part and ejaculates outside so that the woman does not become pregnant.
2:
In this hadith, it is only stated that the belief of the Jews is incorrect, because even with ‘azl, if Allah intends the creation of a soul from that man and woman, its creation will certainly occur. As it happened that a Companion performed ‘azl with a slave woman, yet she became pregnant. Therefore, this is not “minor infanticide” (maw’udat saghrah).

Commentary:
(1)
Despite planning, destiny prevails; however, this does not prevent the use of planning.
A person should make his effort and leave the result to Allah.
(2)
‘Azl means that a man, while engaged in intercourse with his wife or slave woman, when he feels that ejaculation is near, withdraws so that ejaculation occurs outside and pregnancy does not occur.
This was, in effect, the method of family planning in that era.
(3)
‘Azl with a slave woman is permissible because her becoming pregnant would hinder her service to the owner, and the main purpose of keeping a slave woman is household work and service to the owner. However, performing ‘azl with a free woman (wife) is conditional upon her permission.

Benefit:
From this hadith, it is understood that 'azl (withdrawal) is permissible, that is, Islamic law has allowed it (meaning to have intercourse with one's wife and to ejaculate outside).
This hadith also establishes the authority of tacit (taqreeri) hadith, that is, an action that was done during the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and was reported to him, is considered a tacit hadith. If there had been any ambiguity in a tacit hadith, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would have corrected it at that time, whereas in this case he remained silent about it.

From this hadith it is established that no matter how much one practices coitus interruptus (azl), when Allah has decreed, the very drop (of semen) in which Allah has placed offspring will be utilized, and granting offspring is not within anyone’s power, nor is taking offspring. This matter is solely in the hands of Allah Ta’ala.
