Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has appointed an angel in the womb. The angel says, "O Lord! Now it is a drop of fluid. O Lord! Now it has become a clot. O Lord! Now it has become a lump of flesh." Then, when Allah wills to complete its creation, the angel says, "Is it male or female? Is it wretched or blessed? How much provision is destined for it and what is its lifespan?" Thus, all these matters are written by the angel while the child is still in the mother's womb.
