Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْفَيْضِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مُرَّةَ الزُّرَقِيَّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْعَزْلِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي تُرْضِعُ وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّ مَا قَدْ قُدِّرَ فِي الرَّحِمِ سَيَكُونُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Bashshar reported to us, from Muhammad, who said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Abu al-Fayd, who said: I heard Abd Allah ibn Murrah al-Zuraqi, from Abu Sa'id al-Zuraqi: A man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about withdrawal, saying, ‘My wife is nursing, and I dislike for her to become pregnant.’ The Prophet said: ‘What has been decreed in the womb will come to pass.’

Translation notes
  • The report explicitly identifies the method as withdrawal and gives the Prophet’s response about what is decreed in the womb.
