حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ حَدَّثَنَا الْخَطَّابُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

إِذَا اسْتَقَرَّتِ النُّطْفَةُ فِي الرَّحِمِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً بَعَثَ [اللهُ] إِلَيْهَا مَلَكًا فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ مَا رِزْقُهُ ؟ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ مَا أَجَلُهُ؟ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ ذَكَرٌ أَوْ أُنْثَى؟ فَيُعْلَمُ فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ شَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ؟ فَيُعْلَمُ
