Yes. (I heard) Allah's Apostle ﷺ as saying: There is no harm if you do not practise it, for it (the birth of the child) is something ordained (by Allah).  

مسلم:١٤٣٨dوَحَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

قُلْتُ لَهُ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لاَ تَفْعَلُوا فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الْقَدَرُ

مسلم:١٤٣٨eوَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ ح وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ وَبَهْزٌ قَالُوا جَمِيعًا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِهِمْ

Yes. (I heard) Allah's Apostle ﷺ as saying: There is no harm if you do not practise it, for it (the birth of the child) is something ordained (by Allah). (Using translation from Muslim 1438d)  

أحمد:١١٦٨٥حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

[Machine] I asked him, "Did you hear it from Abu Sa'id?" He said, "Yes, from the Prophet ﷺ during seclusion." He said, "Do not worry about not doing it (something), for it is only fate."  

أحمد:١١٤٥٨حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

ahmad:11172Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > Anas b. Sīrīn > Maʿbad > Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī

[Machine] "Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked about or regarding seclusion (or isolation)? It is not a problem for you not to do that, as it is only a matter of destiny."  

أحمد:١١١٧٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ مَعْبَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ؟ أَوْ قَالَ فِي الْعَزْلِ؟ لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الْقَدَرُ
