Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A companion asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about ‘azl (withdrawal), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Do you do that? If you do not do it, there is no harm, but whichever soul Allah has decreed to be created, it will surely be created, whether you practice ‘azl or not.”
