Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Some people asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about 'azl (withdrawal): This was during the expedition of Banu Mustaliq. Those people had obtained some captives, and they disliked that the women among the captives would bear their children. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you do not do so, there is no harm in it, because Allah Almighty has already decreed in destiny until the Day of Resurrection whom He will create.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: A man from among the Ansar came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: I have a slave girl with whom I practice coitus interruptus (‘azl). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Soon that which is written in her destiny will reach her. After that, the man again came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and informed him: That slave girl has become pregnant. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whatever soul Allah Almighty has decreed to be born, it will surely be born. The narrator says: I mentioned this narration to Ibrahim, so he said: It is said that if it is written in the destiny of a drop of semen that a child is to be born from it, then even if it is placed on a stone, the child will be born from it.
