حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ نُمَيْرٍ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَدْخُلُ الْمَلَكُ عَلَى النُّطْفَةِ بَعْدَ مَا تَسْتَقِرُّ فِي الرَّحِمِ بِأَرْبَعِينَ أَوْ خَمْسَةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَشَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ فَيُكْتَبَانِ فَيَقُولُ أَىْ رَبِّ أَذَكَرٌ أَوْ أُنْثَى فَيُكْتَبَانِ وَيُكْتَبُ عَمَلُهُ وَأَثَرُهُ وَأَجَلُهُ وَرِزْقُهُ ثُمَّ تُطْوَى الصُّحُفُ فَلاَ يُزَادُ فِيهَا وَلاَ يُنْقَصُ ‏"‏ .

English translation
Hudhaifa b. Usaid reported directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he said: When the drop of (semen) remains in the womb for forty or forty five nights, the angel comes and says: My Lord, will he be good or evil? And both these things would be written. Then the angel says: My Lord, would he be male or female? And both these things are written. And his deeds and actions, his death, his livelihood; these are also recorded. Then his document of destiny is rolled and there is no addition to nor subtraction from it
বাংলা অনুবাদ
মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু নুমায়র ও যুহায়র ইবনু হারব (রহঃ) ..... হুযইফাহ্ ইবনু আসীদ (রহঃ) হতে মারফু সূত্রে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, জরায়ুতে চল্লিশ অথবা পয়তাল্লিশ দিন রেণু জমা থাকার পর সেখানে ফেরেশতা গমন করে। অতঃপর সে বলতে থাকে, হে আমার প্রভু! সে কি হতভাগ্য না সৌভাগ্যবান? তখন উভয়টাতে লিপিবদ্ধ করা হয়। তারপর সে বলতে থাকে, হে আমার রব! সে কি পুরুষ না মহিলা? তখন আদেশ অনুসারে উভয়টা লিপিবদ্ধ করা হয়। তার আমল, আচরণ, মৃত্যুক্ষণ ও জীবনোপকরণ লিপিবদ্ধ করা হয়। তারপর ফলকটিকে পেঁচিয়ে দেয়া হয়। তাতে কোন অতিরিক্ত করা হবে না এবং ঘাটতিও হবে না!
