Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 11808

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ نَسَمَةً قَالَ مَلَكُ الْأَرْحَامِ مُعْرِضًا : أَيْ رَبِّ ، أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى ؟ فَيَقْضِي اللَّهُ ، فَيَقُولُ : أَيْ رَبِّ ، أَشَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ ؟ فَيَقْضِي اللَّهُ أَمْرَهُ ، ثُمَّ يَكْتُبُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ مَا هُوَ لَاقٍ حَتَّى النَّكْبَةَ يُنْكَبُهَا " .
رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَرِجَالُ أَبِي يَعْلَى رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Allah Almighty intends to create a soul, the angel in charge of the womb comes forward and says: O my Lord! Will it be male or female? And Allah Almighty gives His decision. He says: O my Lord! Will it be wretched or fortunate? And Allah Almighty gives His decision. Then that angel writes between that person's two eyes whatever he is going to encounter, even the thorn that will prick him; he writes that too."
Abu Ya'la and al-Bazzar recorded it; Abu Ya'la's narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
