أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ هُنَيْدَةَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ نَسَمَةً قَالَ مَلَكُ الْأَرْحَامِ مُعْرِضًا يَا رَبِّ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى؟ فَيَقْضِي اللَّهُ أَمْرَهُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَشَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ؟ فَيَقْضِي اللَّهُ أَمْرَهُ ثُمَّ يَكْتُبُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ مَا هُوَ لَاقٍ حَتَّى النَّكْبَةَ يُنْكَبُهَا»

✧ When Allah wills to create a soul, the angel of the wombs says, turning aside, 'My Lord, male or female?' And Allah decrees His command. Then he says, 'My Lord, wretched or blessed?' And Allah decrees His command. Then he writes between his eyes what he will encounter, even the misfortune that will befall him.

رواه الزهري واختلف عنه فرواه صالح بن أبي الأخضر عن الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه وتابعه الأوزاعي عن الزهري على ذلك وخالفه يونس بن يزيد فرواه عن الزهري عن عبد الرحمن بن هنيدة عن ابن عمر وكذلك رواه معمر وعمر بن سعيد بن سريج إلا أنه قال ابن أبي هنيدة وكذلك قيل عن عبد الرحمن بن عبد العزيز الأمامي وعن محمد بن عبد الله بن مسلم ابن أخي الزهري ورواه عمرو بن دينار عن الزهري عن ابن هنيدة عن ابن عمر موقوفا وحديث يونس أصح
machine translationAl-Zuhrī narrated it, and there is disagreement about him. Ṣāliḥ b. Abī al-Akhḍar narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from his father, and al-Awzāʿī followed him in that from al-Zuhrī. Yūnus b. Yazīd contradicted him and narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Hunaydah, from Ibn ʿUmar. Maʿmar and ʿUmar b. Saʿīd b. Surayj narrated it likewise, except that he said Ibn Abī Hunaydah. It was likewise reported from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Umāmī and from Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. Muslim, the nephew of al-Zuhrī. ʿAmr b. Dīnār narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Ibn Hunaydah, from Ibn ʿUmar as a statement of the Companion (mawqūf). The hadith of Yūnus is more authentic (aṣaḥḥ).
