Sunan Abi Dawud 2171 (Book 12, Hadith 126) #22462
The Inevitability of Creation

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that if Allah intends to create a child, no one can prevent it from happening.

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: A man said: Messenger of Allah, I have a slave-girl and I withdraw the penis from her (while having intercourse), and I dislike that she becomes pregnant. I intend (by intercourse) what the men intend by it. The Jews say that withdrawing the penis (Azl) is burying the living girls on a small scale. He (the Prophet) said: The Jews told a lie. If Allah intends to create it, you cannot turn it away.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رِفَاعَةَ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي جَارِيَةً وَأَنَا أَعْزِلُ عَنْهَا وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ مَا يُرِيدُ الرِّجَالُ وَإِنَّ الْيَهُودَ تُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ الْعَزْلَ مَوْءُودَةُ الصُّغْرَى ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ كَذَبَتْ يَهُودُ لَوْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَصْرِفَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the inevitability of creation. It was narrated by AbuSa'id al-Khudri who reported that a man asked the Prophet Muhammad about withdrawing the penis while having intercourse and whether this would prevent pregnancy. The Jews said that this was like burying a living girl on a small scale. However, the Prophet Muhammad said that this was not true and explained that if Allah intends to create something then no one can turn it away. This hadith teaches us an important lesson; we should accept what Allah has planned for us and trust in His wisdom even when things don't go as we expect them to go. We should also be careful not to spread lies or false information as this is against Islamic teachings.
