حَدَّثَنَا خَلِيفَةُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ الْمُؤَذِّنُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:

إِنَّ النُّطْفَةَ إِذَا اسْتَقَرَّتْ فِي الرَّحِمِ تَكُونُ نُطْفَةً أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عَلَقَةً أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُضْغَةً أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عِظَامًا أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، ثُمَّ يَكْسُو اللهُ الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا، فَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، ذَكَرًا أَوْ أُنْثَى ؟ فَيَقْضِي اللهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، شَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ ؟ فَيَقْضِي اللهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، أَجَلُهُ وَرِزْقُهُ وَأَثَرُهُ ؟ فَيَقْضِي اللهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ

✧ When the drop of semen settles in the womb, it remains a drop for forty nights, then it becomes a clinging clot for forty nights, then it becomes a lump of flesh for forty nights, then it becomes bones for forty nights, then God clothes the bones with flesh. Then the angel says: O Lord, male or female? And God — Mighty and Majestic — decrees, and the angel writes. Then he says: O Lord, wretched or blessed? And God — Mighty and Majestic — decrees, and the angel writes. Then he says: O Lord, his term, his provision, and his deeds? And God — Mighty and Majestic — decrees, and the angel writes.
