Arabic (Original)
قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : مَالِكٌ قَالَ أَبِي و حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ الْعَزْلِ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ فَأَصَبْنَا سَبَايَا مِنْ سَبْيِ الْعَرَبِ فَاشْتَهَيْنَا النِّسَاءَ وَاشْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْنَا الْعُزْبَةُ وَأَحْبَبْنَا الْعَزْلَ وَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَعْزِلَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا قَبْلَ أَنْ نَسْأَلَهُ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا مَا مِنْ نَسَمَةٍ كَائِنَةٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا وَهِيَ كَائِنَةٌ.
English Translation
He said: I read to Abd al-Rahman: Malik - my father said - and Ishaq also narrated to us, saying: Malik informed us, from Rabi'ah b. Abi Abd al-Rahman, from Muhammad b. Yahya b. Habban, from Ibn Muhayriz, that he said: I entered the mosque and saw Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, so I sat next to him and asked him about coitus interruptus. Abu Sa'id said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the expedition against Banu al-Mustaliq, and we took captive women from among the Arab captives. We desired women, and celibacy weighed heavily on us, so we wished to practice it and intended to do so, while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was among us, before we asked him. So we asked him about that, and he said: "There is no blame on you if you do not do it. There is no soul destined to come into being until the Day of Resurrection but that it will come into being."
