Hadith 216

216/283- عن عبد الله بن ربيعة قال: كنا جلوساً عند عبد الله – فذكروا رجلاً، فذكروا من خلقه – فقال عبد الله : أرأيتم لو قطعتم رأسه أكنتم تستطيعون أن تعيدوه؟ قالوا: لا. قال: فيدَهُ ؟ قالوا: لا. قال: فرجله؟ قالوا: لا. قال: فإنكم لا تستطيعون أن تغيروا خلقه؟ حتى تغيروا خلُقه! إن النطفة لتستقر في الرحم أربعين ليلة، ثم تنحدر دماً، ثم تكون علقة، ثم تكون مضغة، ثم يبعثُ الله ملكاً. فيكتب : رزقه وخلقه، وشقياً أو سعيداً".
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Rabee’ah, he says: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him), and he mentioned a man and described his character and habits. Abdullah said: Tell me, if you cut off this person’s head, can you then reattach it? The people said: No. He said: Well, if you cut off his hand? The people said: No. He said: And his stomach? The people said: No. He said: Then you cannot change his habits either until you change his physical structure. Indeed, the drop (of semen) remains in the womb for forty days, then it becomes blood and descends, then it becomes a clot, then it becomes a lump of flesh, then Allah sends an angel who writes down his provision, his character, and whether he will be fortunate or unfortunate.
