حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ يَرْفَعُ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ
إِنَّ اللهَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] قَدْ وَكَّلَ بِالرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا، فَيَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، نُطْفَةٌ، أَيْ رَبِّ، عَلَقَةٌ، أَيْ رَبِّ، مُضْغَةٌ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] أَنْ يَقْضِيَ خَلْقَهَا قَالَ: يَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، ذَكَرٌ أَوْ أُنْثَى ؟ شَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ ؟ فَمَا الرِّزْقُ ؟ فَمَا الْأَجَلُ ؟ قَالَ: فَيُكْتَبُ كَذَلِكَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ

✧ Allah [Mighty and Majestic] has appointed an angel over the womb. He says, 'O Lord, a drop; O Lord, a clinging clot; O Lord, a lump of flesh.' Then when Allah [Mighty and Majestic] wills to decree its creation, he says, 'O Lord, male or female? Wretched or blessed? What is the provision? What is the lifespan?' He said: So it is written thus in its mother's belly.
