[6728] 4 - (...) Abû Aṭ-Ṭufail said: I entered upon Abû Sârihah Hudhaifah bin Asîd Al-Ghifârî, and he said: I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ with these two ears of mine, saying: "The Nutfah (sperm drop) stays in the womb for forty nights, then the angel comes down to it." – Zuhair (one of the narrators) said: "I think he said: 'The one who shapes it.'" – "He says: 'O Lord, male or female?' And Allâh makes it male or female. Then he says: 'O Lord, physically sound or unsound?' And Allâh makes him physically sound or unsound. Then he says: 'O Lord, what is his provision?' What is his lifespan? 'Then Allâh makes him doomed or blessed.'"

4 - (2645) حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، أَنَّ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ حَدَّثَهُ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي سَرِيحَةَ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ، فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأُذُنَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ، يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ النُّطْفَةَ تَقَعُ فِي الرَّحِمِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، ثُمَّ يَتَصَوَّرُ عَلَيْهَا الْمَلَكُ» قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ الَّذِي يَخْلُقُهَا " فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ أَذَكَرٌ أَوْ أُنْثَى، فَيَجْعَلُهُ اللهُ ذَكَرًا أَوْ أُنْثَى، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ أَسَوِيٌّ أَوْ غَيْرُ سَوِيٍّ، فَيَجْعَلُهُ اللهُ سَوِيًّا أَوْ غَيْرَ سَوِيٍّ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ مَا رِزْقُهُ مَا أَجَلُهُ مَا خُلُقُهُ، ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُ اللهُ شَقِيًّا أَوْ سَعِيدًا «
