حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ: نَا مُقَدَّمٌ قَالَ: نَا عَمِّي الْقَاسِمُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ. عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
إِذَا وَقَعَتِ النُّطْفَةُ فِي الرَّحِمِ، فَأَتَى عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعُونَ لَيْلَةً، جَاءَهَا الْمَلَكُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَبِّ، أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى ؟ فَيُمْلِي الرَّبُّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ. فَيَقُولُ: مَا رِزْقُهُ ؟ وَمَا عُمْرُهُ ؟ فَيُمْلِي الرَّبُّ، وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ. وَيَقُولُ: أَشَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ ؟ فَيُمْلِي الرَّبُّ، وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ. ثُمَّ يَطْوِي الصَّحِيفَةَ

✧ When the drop falls into the womb and forty nights pass, the angel comes and says: 'O Lord, male or female?' The Lord, Mighty and Majestic, dictates, and the angel writes. He says: 'What is his provision? What is his lifespan?' The Lord dictates, and the angel writes. He says: 'Wretched or blessed?' The Lord dictates, and the angel writes. Then he folds the page.
