حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
إِنَّ النُّطْفَةَ تَكُونُ فِي الرَّحِمِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا عَلَى حَالِهَا لَا تَغَيَّرُ، فَإِذَا مَضَتِ الْأَرْبَعُونَ صَارَتْ عَلَقَةً، ثُمَّ مُضْغَةً كَذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ عِظَامًا كَذَلِكَ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ أَنْ يُسَوِّيَ خَلْقَهُ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا مَلَكًا فَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ: أَيْ رَبِّ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى؟ أَشَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ؟ أَقَصِيرٌ أَمْ طَوِيلٌ؟ أَنَاقِصٌ أَمْ زَائِدٌ قُوتُهُ وَأَجَلُهُ؟ أَصَحِيحٌ أَمْ سَقِيمٌ؟ قَالَ: فَيَكْتُبُ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ إِذًا، وَقَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْ هَذَا كُلِّهِ؟ قَالَ: اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ سَيُوَجَّهُ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ.

✧ The drop of semen remains in the womb for forty days in its state, not changing. When the forty pass, it becomes a clot, then a lump of flesh like that, then bones like that. When Allah wants to perfect his creation, He sends an angel to it. The angel who is next to it says: O Lord, male or female? Wretched or blessed? Short or tall? Deficient or excessive in his sustenance and lifespan? Healthy or sick? He said: So he writes all of that. A man among the people said: Then what is the point of action, since all of this is already finished? He said: Act, for everyone will be directed to what he was created for.
