حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِي، يَعْلَى عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي جَارِيَةً أَعْزِلُ عَنْهَا قَالَ " سَيَأْتِيهَا مَا قُدِّرَ لَهَا " . فَأَتَاهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ قَدْ حَمَلَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَا قُدِّرَ لِنَفْسٍ شَىْءٌ إِلاَّ هِيَ كَائِنَةٌ " .

'Ali ibn Muhammad narrated to us; my maternal uncle Ya'la narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Salim ibn Abi al-Ja'd, from Jabir, who said: A man from the Ansar came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Messenger of Allah, I have a slave woman and practice coitus interruptus with her. He said: What has been decreed for her will reach her. Later the man came to him and said: The slave woman has become pregnant. The Prophet said: Nothing is decreed for a person except that it will come to pass.

The Arabic identifies the transmitter simply as my maternal uncle Yaala; the English witness names only the Companions in its abridged chain.
