حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ وَكَّلَ بِالرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ نُطْفَةٌ، يَا رَبِّ عَلَقَةٌ، يَا رَبِّ مُضْغَةٌ. فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ خَلْقَهُ قَالَ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى شَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ فَمَا الرِّزْقُ وَالأَجَلُ فَيُكْتَبُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Anas bin Malik

English translation
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "At every womb Allah appoints an angel who says, 'O Lord! A drop of semen, O Lord! A clot. O Lord! A little lump of flesh." Then if Allah wishes (to complete) its creation, the angel asks, (O Lord!) Will it be a male or female, a wretched or a blessed, and how much will his provision be? And what will his age be?' So all that is written while the child is still in the mother's womb

। আনাস ইব্‌নু মালিক (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিতঃ তিনি বলেনঃ নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) বলেনঃ আল্লাহ্‌ তা’আলা মাতৃগর্ভের জন্য একজন মালাইকা নির্ধারণ করেছেন। তিনি (পর্যায়ক্রমে) বলতে থাকেন, হে রব! এখন বীর্য-আকৃতিতে আছে। হে রব! এখন জমাট রক্তে পরিণত হয়েছে। হে রব! এখন গোশতপিণ্ডে পরিণত হয়েছে। অতঃপর আল্লাহ্‌ তা’আলা যখন তার সৃষ্টি পূর্ণ করতে চান, তখন জিজ্ঞেস করেনঃ পুরুষ, না স্ত্রী? সৌভাগ্যবান, না দুর্ভাগা? রিয্‌ক ও বয়স কত? আল্লাহর রাসূল (সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) বলেছেনঃ তার মাতৃগর্ভে থাকতেই তা লিখে দেয়া হয়। (৩৩৩৩, ৬৫৯৫; মুসলিম ৪৬/১, হাঃ ২৬৪৬) (আ.প্র. ৩০৭, ই.ফা)
