حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَوْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَدْخُلُ الْمَلَكُ عَلَى النُّطْفَةِ بَعْدَمَا تَسْتَقِرُّ فِي الرَّحِمِ بِأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً - وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً: أَوْ خَمْسٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً - فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ، مَاذَا أَشَقِيٌّ (١) أَمْ سَعِيدٌ؟ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى؟ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، فَيَكْتُبَانِ، فَيَقُولَانِ: مَاذَا؟ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى؟ فَيَقُولُ، ، اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَيَكْتُبَانِ، فَيُكْتَبُ عَمَلُهُ، وَأَثَرُهُ، وَمُصِيبَتُهُ، وَرِزْقُهُ، ثُمَّ تُطْوَى الصَّحِيفَةُ، فَلَا يُزَادُ عَلَى مَا فِيهَا وَلَا يُنْقَصُ " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: When the drop of fluid settles in the womb, after forty days an angel comes and asks, "O Lord, will this one be wretched or blessed? Will it be male or female?" Allah Almighty informs him, and he writes it down. Then its deeds, effects, calamities, and provision are also written. Then this record is rolled up, and nothing can be added to it or taken away from it.
