And Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashshar narrated to us, both saying: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us. And Yahya ibn Habib narrated to us: Khalid — meaning Ibn al-Harith — narrated to us. And Muhammad ibn Hatim narrated to me: 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi and Bahz narrated to us. They all said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Anas ibn Sirin, with this chain of transmission, a similar report — except that in their narration, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he said concerning coitus interruptus: "It does not matter if you do not do that, for it is only the decree." And in Bahz's narration, Shu'bah said: I said to him, "Did you hear it from Abu Sa'id?" He said, "Yes."
