"عَنِ عَلْقَمَة قَالَ: سُئِلَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ الَعزْلِ فَقَالَ: لَوْ أَخَذَ اللهُ مِيثَاقَ نَسَمَةٍ مِنْ صُلْبِ آدَمَ ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَهُ عَلَى صَفَا لأَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الصَّفَا فَإنْ شِئْتَ فَاعْزِلْ، وَإنْ شِئْت فَلا تَعْزِلْ".

[Machine] If Allah were to take a covenant from a breath in the womb of a man, then pour it onto a line, surely He would bring it out from that line. So, if you wish, complete it, and if you wish, leave it.  

الطبراني:٩٦٦٤ – حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ سُئِلَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ فَقَالَ

«لَوْ أَخَذَ اللهُ مِيثَاقَ نَسَمَةٍ فِي صُلْبِ رَجُلٍ ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَهُ عَلَى صَفًا لَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الصَّفَا فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَتِمَّ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَلَا تَعْزِلْ»
