وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ - قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ النُّطْفَةَ تَكُونُ فِي الرَّحِمِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا عَلَى حَالِهَا لَا تَغَيَّرُ ، فَإِذَا مَضَتِ الْأَرْبَعُونَ صَارَتْ عَلَقَةً ، ثُمَّ مُضْغَةً كَذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ عِظَامًا كَذَلِكَ ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - أَنْ يُسَوِّيَ خَلْقَهُ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا مَلَكًا ، فَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ : أَيْ رَبِّ ، أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى ؟ أَشَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ ؟ أَقَصِيرٌ أَمْ طَوِيلٌ ؟ نَاقِصٌ أَمْ زَائِدٌ ؟ قُوتُهُ ؟ أَجَلُهُ ؟ أَصَحِيحٌ أَمْ سَقِيمٌ ؟ " ، قَالَ : " فَيُكْتَبُ ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ " ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ : فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ إِذًا ؟ وَقَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْ هَذَا كُلِّهِ ، فَقَالَ : " اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ سَيُوَجَّهُ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ " ، قُلْتُ : هُوَ فِي الصَّحِيحِ بِاخْتِصَارٍ عَنْ هَذَا .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِيهِ ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ سَيِّئُ الْحِفْظِ ، وَرَوَى الطَّبَرَانِيُّ حَدِيثَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فِي الْمُعْجَمِ الصَّغِيرِ بِنَحْوِ مَا فِي الصَّحِيحِ ، وَزَادَ " ثُمَّ يَكْسُو اللَّهُ الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا " ، وَقَالَ : " وَأَثَرُهُ " .
