وَبِهِ: عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ: نَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ:

إِنَّ خَلْقَ أَحَدِكُمْ يُجْمَعُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مُضْغَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِيهِ الْمَلَكُ، فَيَقُولُ: رَبِّ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى ؟ أَشَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ ؟ وَمَا الرِّزْقُ ؟ وَمَا الْأَجَلُ ؟ فَيَقْضِي رَبُّكَ، وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ

✧ The creation of one of you is gathered in his mother's belly for forty nights, then he becomes a clinging clot for the like of that, then he becomes a lump of flesh for the like of that. Then the angel comes to him and says: 'My Lord, male or female? Wretched or blessed? What is the provision? What is the lifespan?' So your Lord decrees and the angel writes.
