حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، وَرَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ وَكَّلَ بِالرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا ، فَيَقُولُ : أَيْ رَبِّ نُطْفَةٌ ؟ أَيْ رَبِّ عَلَقَةٌ ؟ أَيْ رَبِّ مُضْغَةٌ ؟ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ خَلْقًا ، قَالَ : قَالَ الْمَلَكُ : أَيْ رَبِّ ذَكَرٌ أَوْ أُنْثَى ؟ شَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ ؟ فَمَا الرِّزْقُ ؟ فَمَا الْأَجَلُ ؟ فَيُكْتَبُ كَذَلِكَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ " .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has appointed an angel as the caretaker of the womb, and he would say: My Lord, it is now a drop of semen; my Lord, it is now a clot of blood; my Lord, it has now become a lump of flesh, and when Allah decides to give it a final shape, the angel says: My Lord, would it be male or female or would he be an evil or a good person? What about his livelihood and his age? And it is all written as he is in the womb of his mother.
