318. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنها: The Prophet ﷺ said, "At every womb Allāh appoints an angel who says, 'O Lord! A drop of semen, O Lord! A clot. O Lord! A little lump of flesh.' Then if Allāh wishes (to complete) its creation, the angel asks, (O Lord!): (A) Will it be a male or female, (B) a wretched(1) or a blessed(2), (C) and how much will his provision be? (D) And what will his age be? So all that [A, B, C, D] is written while the child is still in the mother's womb."

Arabic text

318 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَكَّلَ بِالرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا ، يَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ نُطْفَةٌ، يَا رَبِّ عَلَقَةٌ، يَا رَبِّ مُضْغَةٌ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ خَلْقَهُ قَالَ: أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى، شَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ، فَمَا الرِّزْقُ وَالأَجَلُ، فَيُكْتَبُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ "
