Sahih al-Bukhari 3966 (Book 64, Hadith 182)
(i.e. coitus interruptus). Abu Sa`id said, “We went out with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) for the Ghazwa of Banu
Al-Mustaliq and we received captives from among the Arab captives and we desired women and
celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do coitus interruptus. So when we intended to do coitus
interrupt us, we said, ‘How can we do coitus interruptus before asking Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) who is present
among us?” We asked (him) about it and he said, ‘It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul (till
the Day of Resurrection) is predestined to exist, it will exist.”
“ مَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لاَ تَفْعَلُوا، مَا مِنْ نَسَمَةٍ كَائِنَةٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلاَّ وَهْىَ كَائِنَةٌ ”.
