Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُقْرِئُ حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي عَيَّاشُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ أَبَا النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَنَّ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَ وَالِدَهُ سَعْدَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَعْزِلُ عَنْ امْرَأَتِي قَالَ لِمَ قَالَ شَفَقًا عَلَى وَلَدِهَا أَوْ عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ فَلَا مَا ضَارَّ ذَلِكَ فَارِسَ وَلَا الرُّومَ.
English Translation
Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Muqri told us, Haywah told us, Ayyash ibn Abbas informed me, that Abu al-Nadr told him, from Amir ibn Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, that Usamah ibn Zayd informed his father Sa'd ibn Malik, saying: A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: I practice withdrawal with my wife. He said: Why? He said: Out of concern for her child, or her children. He said: If that is the case, then there is no harm; that would not harm Persia or Byzantium.
