حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَامِلٍ، فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ، اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَرَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ وَكَّلَ بِالرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا فَيَقُولُ أَىْ رَبِّ نُطْفَةٌ أَىْ رَبِّ عَلَقَةٌ أَىْ رَبِّ مُضْغَةٌ ‏.‏ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ خَلْقًا - قَالَ - قَالَ الْمَلَكُ أَىْ رَبِّ ذَكَرٌ أَوْ أُنْثَى شَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ فَمَا الرِّزْقُ فَمَا الأَجَلُ فَيُكْتَبُ كَذَلِكَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Anas b. Malik reported directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he said:Allah, the Exlated and Glorious, has appointed an angel as the caretaker of the womb, and he would say: My Lord, it is now a drop of semen; my Lord, It is now a clot of blood; my Lord, it has now become a lump of flesh, and when Allah decides to give it a final shape, the angel says: My Lord, would it be male or female or would he be an evil or a good person? What about his livelihood and his age? And it is all written as he is in the womb of his mother

Rapporté par Anas b. Malik : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a dit directement : « Allah, le Très-Haut et le Glorieux, a désigné un ange comme gardien de l’utérus. Il dit : “Mon Seigneur, c’est maintenant une goutte de sperme ; mon Seigneur, c’est maintenant un caillot de sang ; mon Seigneur, c’est maintenant un morceau de chair.” Et quand Allah décide de lui donner sa forme finale, l’ange demande : “Mon Seigneur, sera-t-il garçon ou fille ? Sera-t-il mauvais ou bon ? Qu’en est-il de sa subsistance et de son âge ?” Et tout cela est écrit alors qu’il est encore dans le ventre de sa mère. »
