Sahih Muslim: Book 16, Hadith 159

Jabir b. ‘Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported that a person asked Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) saying: I have a slave-girl and I practise ‘azl with her, whereupon Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: This cannot prevent that which Allah has decreed. The person then came (after some time) and said: Messenger of Allah, the slave-girl about whom I talked to you has conceived, whereupon Allah’s Messeuger (ﷺ) said: I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger.

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الأَشْعَثِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي جَارِيَةً لِي وَأَنَا أَعْزِلُ عَنْهَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَنْ يَمْنَعَ شَيْئًا أَرَادَهُ اللَّهُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَجَاءَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْجَارِيَةَ الَّتِي كُنْتُ ذَكَرْتُهَا لَكَ حَمَلَتْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sahih Muslim: Book 16, Hadith 159

 

The above hadith is from the Sahih Muslim collection of hadiths. As a primary source for Islamic law and practice, Sahih Muslim is an indispensable collection. Its creation is credited to the dedicated efforts of Muslim ibn al-Ḥajjāj, who finalized his work around the year 875. This text is universally accepted as one of the two most authentic books of hadith, sharing this distinguished status with Sahih al-Bukhari. Together, they are part of the six revered collections called the Kutub al-Sittah. The Sahih Muslim itself is a large volume, containing roughly 7,459 separate hadith reports that are carefully categorized within a framework of 56 books.
