English narration

Narrated by أنس بن مالك الأنصاري

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah puts an angel in charge of the uterus and the angel says, 'O Lord, (it is) semen! O Lord, (it is now ) a clot! O Lord, (it is now) a piece of flesh.' And then, if Allah wishes to complete its creation, the angel asks, 'O Lord, (will it be) a male or a female? A wretched (an evil doer) or a blessed (doer of good)? How much will his provisions be? What will his age be?' So all that is written while the creature is still in the mother's womb."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "

وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ بِالرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا ، فَيَقُولُ : أَيْ رَبِّ نُطْفَةٌ ، أَيْ رَبِّ عَلَقَةٌ ، أَيْ رَبِّ مُضْغَةٌ ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ خَلْقَهَا ، قَالَ : أَيْ رَبِّ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى ، أَشَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ ، فَمَا الرِّزْقُ ، فَمَا الْأَجَلُ ، فَيُكْتَبُ كَذَلِكَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ

" .
