English translation

3333. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh has appointed an angel in the womb, and the angel says, 'O Lord! Nufah! (mixed drops of male and female sexual discharge) O Lord! A clot, O Lord! A piece of flesh.' And then, if Allāh wishes to complete the child's creation, the angel will say. 'O Lord! A male or female? O Lord! Wretched or blessed (in the Hereafter)? What will his livelihood be? What will his age be?' The angel writes all this while the child is in the womb of its mother."

3333 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَكَّلَ فِي الرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ نُطْفَةٌ، يَا رَبِّ عَلَقَةٌ، يَا رَبِّ مُضْغَةٌ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهَا قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ أَذَكَرٌ، يَا رَبِّ أُنْثَى، يَا رَبِّ شَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ، فَمَا الرِّزْقُ، فَمَا الأَجَلُ، فَيُكْتَبُ كَذَلِكَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ "
