abudawud:2171Mūsá b. Ismāʿīl > Abān > Yaḥyá > Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Thawbān > Rifāʿah > Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī > a man

A man said: Messenger of Allah, I have a slave-girl and I withdraw the penis from her (while having intercourse), and I dislike that she becomes pregnant. I intend (by intercourse) what the men intend by it. The Jews say that withdrawing the penis (azl) is burying the living girls on a small scale. He (the Prophet) said: The Jews told a lie. If Allah intends to create it, you cannot turn it away.  

أبو داود:٢١٧١حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رِفَاعَةَ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَالَ

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي جَارِيَةً وَأَنَا أَعْزِلُ عَنْهَا وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ مَا يُرِيدُ الرِّجَالُ وَإِنَّ الْيَهُودَ تُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ الْعَزْلَ مَوْءُودَةُ الصُّغْرَى قَالَ كَذَبَتْ يَهُودُ لَوْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَصْرِفَهُ

[Machine] "To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I have a female servant and I am treating her in a fair manner, despite disliking her taking on burdens. The Jews claim that she is the youngest among their slaves." He said, "The Jews have lied. If Allah had willed to create her, they would not be able to prevent Him from doing so."

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I have a slave girl whom I desire just as men desire women, but I have restrained myself from her. I dislike that she becomes pregnant, and the Jews claim that 'azl (coitus interruptus) is the minor form of killing." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "The Jews have lied, the Jews have lied. If Allah had intended to create something, He would not have been unable to turn its course."
