And narrated to me Abu al-Rabi' al-Zahrani and Abu Kamil al-Jahdari — and the wording is that of Abu Kamil — both said: narrated to us Hammad, that is, Ibn Zayd, narrated to us Ayyub, from Muhammad, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Bishr ibn Mas'ud, tracing it back to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked about coitus interruptus, and he said, "It does not matter to you if you do not do that, for it is only the decree." Muhammad said: And his saying, "It does not matter to you," is closer to prohibition.
