Hadith #3Ungraded
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ وَمَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِي جَارِيَةً وَأَنَا أَعْزِلُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا يُقَدَّرْ يَكُنْ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ حَمَلَتْ فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهَا حَمَلَتْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا قَضَى اللَّهُ لِنَفْسٍ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ إِلَّا هِيَ كَائِنَةٌ
'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Sufyan informed us, from al-A'mash and Mansur, from Salim ibn Abi al-Ja'd, from Jabir ibn Abdullah (رضي الله عنهما) who said: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'I have a slave-girl and I need her for service, and I go around the date-palms and pollinate them, and I have relations with her, but I do not want her to become pregnant.' the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Practice 'azl (withdrawal) with her if you wish, for what is decreed for her will reach her.' The man came back after some time and said: 'She has become pregnant.' the Prophet ﷺ said: 'I told you that what was decreed for her would reach her.'
