Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5157 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who is the truthful
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ : إِنَّ خَلْقَ أَحَدِكُمْ لَيُجْمَعُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مُضْغَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللهُ الْمَلَكَ بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ : رِزْقُهُ ، وَعَمَلُهُ ، وَأَجَلُهُ ، وَشَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا إِلَّا ذِرَاعٌ ، ثُمَّ يُدْرِكُهُ مَا سَبَقَ لَهُ فِي الْكِتَابِ فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيَدْخُلُهَا ، وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا إِلَّا ذِرَاعٌ ، ثُمَّ يُدْرِكُهُ مَا سَبَقَ لَهُ فِي الْكِتَابِ فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَدْخُلُهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who is the truthful and the one confirmed as truthful (through divine revelation), said: "The creation of each one of you is gathered in his mother's womb for forty days (as a drop), then he remains a clinging clot for a like period, then he remains a lump of flesh for a like period. Then Allah Almighty sends an angel with the command to write four things: his provision, his deeds, his lifespan, and whether he is wretched or fortunate. By the One in whose Hand is my soul! One of you keeps doing the deeds of the people of Paradise until there is only an arm's length between him and Paradise; then the decree that was written for him beforehand overtakes him, so he begins doing the deeds of the people of Hell and enters it. And one of you keeps doing the deeds of the people of Hell until there is only an arm's length between him and Hell; then the prior writing overtakes him, and he begins doing the deeds of the people of Paradise and enters it."
