[Machine] I heard Anas ibn Malik saying that a man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked about isolation. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If the water from which children are produced were poured onto a rock, Allah would still bring forth offspring from it. Doubt is in Him and He creates souls, He is their Creator."  

أحمد:١٢٤٢٠حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو مُبَارَكٌ الْخَيَّاطُ جَدُّ وَلَدِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ثُمَامَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ فَقَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَسَأَلَ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ أَنَّ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي يَكُونُ مِنْهُ الْوَلَدُ أَهْرَقْتَهُ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ لَأَخْرَجَ اللهُ مِنْهَا أَوْ يُخْرِجُ مِنْهَا وَلَدًا الشَّكُّ مِنْهُ وَلَيَخْلُقَنَّ اللهُ نَفْسًا هُوَ خَالِقُهَا

"لَوْ أن المَاءَ الَّذِي يَكُونُ مِنْهُ الوَلَدُ أهْرَقْتَهُ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ لأخْرَجَ اللهُ مِنْهَا وَلَدًا، ولَيَخْلُقَنَّ الله تَعَالى نَفْسًا هُوَ خَالِقُهَا".
