English translation
6595. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh puts an angel in charge of the uterus and the angel says, 'O Lord, (it is) semen! O Lord, (it is now) a clot! O Lord, (it is now) a piece of flesh.' And then, if Allāh wishes to complete its creation, the angel asks, 'O Lord, (will it be) a male or a female? A wretched (an evildoer) or a blessed (doer of good)? How much will his provisions be? What will his age be?" So all that is written while the creature is still in the mother's womb."
