حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْخَطَّابُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا اسْتَقَرَّتْ النُّطْفَةُ فِي، ، الرَّحِمِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا - أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً - بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا مَلَكًا، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ مَا رِزْقُهُ؟ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ مَا أَجَلُهُ؟ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ ذَكَرٌ أَوْ أُنْثَى؟ فَيُعْلَمُ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ شَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ؟ فَيُعْلَمُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: When the drop of semen settles in the womb of the mother and forty days pass over it, an angel comes to it and asks: "O Lord, what will be its provision?" It is informed. Then he asks: "O Lord, how long will its lifespan be?" It is informed. Then he asks: "O Lord, will it be male or female?" That too is informed. Then he asks: "O Lord, will it be wretched or blessed?" That too is informed.
