39. Marriage
٣٩۔ كِتَابُ النِّكَاحِ
[Machine] Narrated Jabir: We used to isolate ourselves and the Quran would be revealed.
عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ كُنَّا نَعْزِلُ وَالْقُرْآنُ يُنَزَّلُ
[Machine] We used to isolate ourselves during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ learned about this, he did not prohibit us from doing so.
كُنَّا نَعْزِلُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا عَنْهُ
Jabir said “A man from the Ansar came to the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ and said “I have a slave girl and I have intercourse with her. But I dislike her to conceive. He replied “Withdraw your penis from her if you wish for what is decreed for her will come to her.” After a time the man came to him and said “The girl has become pregnant”. He said “I told you that what was decreed for her would come to her.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2173)
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِي جَارِيَةً وَهِيَ خَادِمَتُنَا وَسَانِيَتُنَا وَأَنَا أَطُوفُ عَلَيْهَا وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ فَقَالَ اعْزِلْ عَنْهَا إِنْ شِئْتَ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِيهَا مَا قُدِّرَ لَهَا فَلَبِثَ الرَّجُلُ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْجَارِيَةَ قَدْ حَمَلَتْ فَقَالَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ أَنَّهُ سَيَأْتِيهَا مَا قُدِّرَ لَهَا
[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have a wife and I am separating from her." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Surely, that is not to let go of the decree of Allah." The man left and only a short while passed before he came back to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, it seems that my wife is pregnant." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِي جَارِيَةً وَأَنَا أَعْزِلُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَمَا إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَرُدُّ قَضَاءَ اللهِ فَذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَشَعَرْتَ أَنَّ الْجَارِيَةَ حَمَلَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ
[Machine] Narrated Abu Sa'id:
It was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ regarding Al-Azl, and he said: "Why does anyone of you do that?" And he did not say: 'So one of you must not do it, as surely the Creator is the only one who creates a soul."
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَعْنِي الْعَزْلَ قَالَ وَلِمَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ أَحَدُكُمْ؟ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ فَلَا يَفْعَلْ أَحَدُكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ مَخْلُوقَةٍ إِلَّا اللهُ خَالِقُهَا
Muhairiz said “I entered the mosque and saw Abu Sa’id Al Khudri . I sat with him and asked about withdrawing the penis (while having intercourse). Abu Sa’id said We went out with the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ on the expedition to Banu Al Mustaliq and took some Arab women captive and we desired the women for we were suffering from the absence of our wives and we wanted ransom, so we intended to withdraw the penis (while having intercourse with the slave women). But we asked ourselves “can we draw the penis when the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ is among us before asking him about it? So we asked him about it. He said “it does not matter if you do not do it, for very soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2172)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ؓ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوِ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ فَأَصَبْنَا سَبْيًا مِنْ سَبْيِ الْعَرَبِ فَاشْتَهَيْنَا النِّسَاءَ وَاشْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْنَا الْعُزْبَةُ وَأَحْبَبْنَا الْفِدَاءَ فَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَعْزِلَ فَقُلْنَا نَعْزِلُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا قَبْلَ أَنْ نَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ؟ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَا عَلَيْكُمْ أًلَّا تَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكَ مَا مِنْ نَسَمَةٍ كَائِنَةٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا وَهِيَ كَائِنَةٌ
We took women captives, and we wanted to do 'azl with them. We then asked Allah's Messen- ger ﷺ about it, and he said to us: Verily you do it, verily you do it, verily you do it, but the soul which has to be born until the Day of judg- ment must be born. (Using translation from Muslim 1438c)
أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَصَبْنَا سَبَايَا وَكُنَّا نَعْزِلُ فَسَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَنَا وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَفْعَلُونَ وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَفْعَلُونَ وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَفْعَلُونَ مَا مِنْ نَسَمَةٍ كَائِنَةٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا وَهِيَ كَائِنَةٌ
[Machine] We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about isolation, and he said, "There is no harm if you do not do it, as it is only a matter of fate."
سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ فَقَالَ لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الْقَدَرُ
The child does not come from all the liquid (sermen) and when Allah intends to create anything nothing can prevent it (from coming into existence). (Using translation from Muslim 1438k)
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ؓ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْ كُلِّ الْمَاءِ يَكُونُ الْوَلَدُ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ خَلْقَ شَيْءٍ لَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ شَيْءٌ
[Machine] The concept of 'azl' (coitus interruptus) was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. He asked, "What is that?" They said, "It is when a man has a wife who breastfeeds and he dislikes that she becomes pregnant, or when he has a slave girl and he dislikes that she becomes pregnant from him." The Prophet ﷺ said, "It is not forbidden for you to do that, as it is a matter of fate."
ذُكِرَ الْعَزْلُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فَقَالَ وَمَا ذَاكُمْ؟ قَالُوا الرَّجُلُ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْمَرْأَةُ تُرْضِعُ فَيُصِيبُ مِنْهَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ أَوْ تَكُونَ لَهُ الْجَارِيَةُ فَيَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا ذَاكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الْقَدَرُ
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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2171)
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِي جَارِيَةٌ وَأَنَا أَعْزِلُ عَنْهَا وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ مَا يُرِيدُ الرَّجُلُ وَإِنَّ الْيَهُودَ تَحَدَّثُ أَنَّ الْعَزْلَ الْمَوْؤُدَةُ الصُّغْرَى قَالَ كَذَبَتِ الْيَهُودُ لَوْ أَرَادَ اللهُ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَصْرِفَهُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "They claim that 'azl is the smallest form of contraception." He said, "The Jews have lied." It has been narrated that the permissibility of 'azl was reported from the common people among the companions.
رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ قَالُوا إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ الْعَزْلَ هِيَ الْمَوْؤُدَةُ الصُّغْرَى قَالَ كَذَبَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَرُوِيَ فِي إِبَاحَةِ الْعَزْلِ عَنْ عَوَامِّ الصَّحَابَةِ ؓ
أَنَّ سَعْدًا كَانَ يَعْزِلُ عَنْهَا
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْزِلُ
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْزِلُ
[Machine] "Oh Abu Sa'id, I have neighbors who are not my wives. Some of them impress me more than my wives, and not all of them please me to the point of wanting to have relations with them. Shall I divorce them?" Zaid said, "You should ask Hajjaj for advice." I said, "May Allah forgive you, we only sit with you to learn from you." He said, "Then ask Hajjaj for advice." I said, "It is your field, if you wish, you can irrigate it, and if you wish, you can let it dry." He said, "I heard that from Zaid." So I said, "It is true."
يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ إِنَّ عِنْدِي جَوَارٍ لَيْسَ نِسَائِي اللَّاتِي أُكِنُّ بِأَعْجَبَ إِلِيَّ مِنْهُنَّ وَلَيْسَ كُلُّهُنَّ يُعْجِبُنِي أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَ مِنِّي أَفَأَعْزِلُ؟ فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ أَفْتِهِ يَا حَجَّاجُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ إِنَّمَا نَجْلِسُ إِلَيْكَ نَتَعَلَّمُ مِنْكَ قَالَ أَفْتِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ هُوَ حَرْثُكَ إِنْ شِئْتَ سَقَيْتَهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَعْطَشْتَهُ قَالَ وَكُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ زَيْدٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ
[Machine] The translation of the provided passage into English is as follows: "A human being shall not cause the death of another person. It is Allah who determines their creation. Your duty is to nurture them, whether you choose to quench their thirst or provide them with water."
مَا كَانَ ابْنُ آدَمَ لِيَقْتُلَ نَفْسًا قَضَى اللهُ خَلْقَهَا حَرْثُكَ إِنْ شِئْتَ عَطَّشْتَهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ سَقَيْتَهُ
[Machine] Go and ask the people, then come to me and inform me. They asked and informed him. Then he recited this verse: "And We certainly created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him a sperm-drop in a firm lodging" (Surah Al-Mu'minun, 13), until he finished the verse. Then he asked, "How can a person be created from something repulsive until he reaches this state of creation?"
اذْهَبُوا فَسَلُوا النَّاسَ ثُمَّ ائْتُونِي فَأَخْبِرُونِي فَسَأَلُوا فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَتَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ سُلَالَةٍ مِنْ طِينٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ} [المؤمنون 13] حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنَ الْآيَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَيْفَ تَكُونُ مِنَ الْمَوْؤُدَةِ حَتَّى تَمُرَّ عَلَى هَذَا الْخَلْقِ
عَنْ جَارِيَةٍ لَهُ ثُمَّ يُرِيهَا
[Machine] The owner of this house used to hate him, meaning Ibn Mas'ud, and Allah knows best.
وَكَانَ صَاحِبُ هَذِهِ الدَّارِ يَكْرَهُهُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
