Musnad Ahmad 12499 — Musnad of Anas ibn Malik
(حديث قدسي) حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، يَرْفَعُ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ وَكَّلَ بِالرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا ، فَيَقُولُ : أَيْ رَبِّ ، نُطْفَةٌ ، أَيْ رَبِّ ، عَلَقَةٌ ، أَيْ رَبِّ ، مُضْغَةٌ ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ خَلْقَهَا " ، قَالَ : " يَقُولُ : أَيْ رَبِّ ، ذَكَرٌ أَوْ أُنْثَى ؟ شَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ ؟ فَمَا الرِّزْقُ ؟ فَمَا الْأَجَلُ ؟ " ، قَالَ : " فَيُكْتَبُ كَذَلِكَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has appointed an angel over the womb of the mother, who at its appointed time keeps saying: O Lord! Now it has become a drop of fluid; O Lord! Now it has become a clot of flesh. Then when Allah intends to create it, the angel asks: O Lord! Will it be wretched or blessed? Will it be male or female? And how long will its lifespan be? All these things are written in the mother's womb.
