Sunan Abi Dawud 2173 (Book 12, Hadith 128) #22464
The Inevitability of Fate

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad advised a man to withdraw his penis from his slave girl if he did not want her to become pregnant, and the man's wish did not come true.

Jabir said "A man from the Ansar came to the Apostle of Allaah 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".
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِي جَارِيَةً أَطُوفُ عَلَيْهَا وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اعْزِلْ عَنْهَا إِنْ شِئْتَ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِيهَا مَا قُدِّرَ لَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَلَبِثَ الرَّجُلُ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْجَارِيَةَ قَدْ حَمَلَتْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكَ أَنَّهُ سَيَأْتِيهَا مَا قُدِّرَ لَهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the inevitability of fate. It tells us that no matter what we do, what is meant to happen will happen in the end. The Prophet Muhammad was advising a man who had a slave girl and was having intercourse with her but wanted to avoid her becoming pregnant. However, despite his efforts, she became pregnant anyway because it was destined for her. This teaches us that we should accept our fate and trust in God's plan for us as it will always be better than anything we could have planned ourselves. We should also remember that whatever happens is part of God's plan and He knows best what is good for us even if it does not seem so at first glance.
