Hadith 10305
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ مَرَّ يَهُودِيٌّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ أَصْحَابَهُ فَقَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ يَا يَهُودِيُّ إِنَّ هَذَا يَزْعَمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ فَقَالَ لَأَسْأَلَنَّهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ قَالَ فَجَاءَ حَتَّى جَلَسَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مِمَّ يُخْلَقُ الْإِنْسَانُ قَالَ ((يَا يَهُودِيُّ مِنْ كُلٍّ يُخْلَقُ مِنْ نُطْفَةِ الرَّجُلِ وَمِنْ نُطْفَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ فَأَمَّا نُطْفَةُ الرَّجُلِ فَنُطْفَةٌ غَلِيظَةٌ مِنْهَا الْعَظْمُ وَالْعَصَبُ وَأَمَّا نُطْفَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ فَنُطْفَةٌ رَقِيقَةٌ مِنْهَا اللَّحْمُ وَالدَّمُ)) فَقَامَ الْيَهُودِيُّ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا كَانَ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَبْلَكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Jew passed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was narrating hadiths to his companions. The Quraysh said to the Jew: O Jew! This man considers himself a prophet. He said: I will ask him about something that only a prophet knows. So he came and sat down, then he said: O Muhammad! From what is man created? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Jew! Man is created from both the man and the woman, from the sperm of the man and the sperm of the woman. The man's sperm is thick, from which bones and muscles are made, and the woman's sperm is thin, from which flesh and blood are made. The Jew said: The people before you also used to say the same.
Hadith 10306
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((إِنَّ النُّطْفَةَ تَكُونُ فِي الرَّحِمِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا عَلَى حَالِهَا لَا تَتَغَيَّرُ فَإِذَا مَضَتِ الْأَرْبَعُونَ صَارَتْ عَلَقَةً ثُمَّ مُضْغَةً كَذَلِكَ ثُمَّ عِظَامًا كَذَلِكَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُسَوِّيَ خَلْقَهُ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا مَلَكًا فَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ أَيْ رَبِّ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى أَشَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ أَقَصِيرٌ أَمْ طَوِيلٌ أَنَاقِصٌ أَمْ زَائِدٌ قُوتُهُ وَأَجَلُهُ أَصَحِيحٌ أَمْ سَقِيمٌ قَالَ فَيُكْتَبُ ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ)) فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ إِذًا وَقَدْ فَزِعَ مِنْ هَذَا كُلِّهِ قَالَ ((اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ سَيُوَجَّهُ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ))
Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, the sperm remains in its state for forty days, there is no change in it. When forty days pass, it becomes a clot of congealed blood. Then after forty days, it becomes a lump of flesh. Then after forty days, bones are formed. So when Allah Almighty intends to complete its creation, He sends an angel towards it. The angel responsible for this task says: O my Lord! Is it male or female? Fortunate or unfortunate? Short in stature or tall? Deficient in creation or excessive in creation? Also, its sustenance and death? And is it healthy or sick? So all these things are written down. One of the people said: If all this matter has already been decided, then what is the point of action? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You should act, for every person will be directed towards that for which he was created.
