حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَكَّلَ فِي الرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ نُطْفَةٌ، يَا رَبِّ عَلَقَةٌ، يَا رَبِّ مُضْغَةٌ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهَا قَالَ يَا رَبِّ، أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ يَا رَبِّ أُنْثَى يَا رَبِّ شَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ فَمَا الرِّزْقُ فَمَا الأَجَلُ فَيُكْتَبُ كَذَلِكَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ ‏"‏.

English translation
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has appointed an angel in the womb, and the angel says, 'O Lord! A drop of discharge (i.e. of semen), O Lord! a clot, O Lord! a piece of flesh.' And then, if Allah wishes to complete the child's creation, the angel will say. 'O Lord! A male or a female? O Lord! wretched or blessed (in religion)? What will his livelihood be? What will his age be?' The angel writes all this while the child is in the womb of its mother
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আনাস ইবনু মালিক (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেন, আল্লাহ মাতৃগর্ভে একজন ফেরেশতা নিযুক্ত করে রেখেছেন। (সন্তান জন্মের সূচনায়) সে ফেরেশতা বলেন, হে রব! এ তো বীর্য। হে রব! এ তো আলাকা। হে রব! এ তো গোশ্তের খন্ড। অতঃপর আল্লাহ যদি তাকে সৃষ্টি করতে চান তাহলে ফেরেশতা বলেন, হে রব! সন্তানটি ছেলে হবে, না মেয়ে হবে? হে রব! সে কি পাপিষ্ঠ হবে, না নেককার হবে? তার রিয্ক কী পরিমাণ হবে, তার আয়ুষ্কাল কত হবে? এভাবে তার মাতৃগর্ভে সব কিছুই লিখে দেয়া হয়। (৩১৮) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৩০৮৭, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
