English translation

[6730] 5 - (2646) It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Allâh, Glorified and Exalted is He, has appointed an angel over the womb, and he says: 'O Lord, a Nutfah (sperm drop); O Lord, an 'Alaqah; O Lord, a Mudghah.' Then when Allâh wants to decree the (final stage of) his creation, the angel says: 'O Lord, male or female? Miserable or happy? What is his provision? What is his lifespan?' And that is written in the womb of his mother."

Arabic text

5 - (2646) حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَرَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ وَكَّلَ بِالرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا، فَيَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ نُطْفَةٌ، أَيْ رَبِّ عَلَقَةٌ، أَيْ رَبِّ مُضْغَةٌ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ خَلْقًا قَالَ: قَالَ الْمَلَكُ: أَيْ رَبِّ ذَكَرٌ أَوْ أُنْثَى؟ شَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ؟ فَمَا الرِّزْقُ؟ فَمَا الْأَجَلُ؟ فَيُكْتَبُ كَذَلِكَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ "
