Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) who is the most truthful (of the human beings) and his being truthful (is a fact) said: Verily your creation is on this wise. The constituents of one of you are collected for forty days in his mother's womb in the form of blood, after which it becomes a clot of blood in another period of forty days. Then it becomes a lump of flesh and forty days later Allah sends His angel to it with instructions concerning four things, so the angel writes down his livelihood, his death, his deeds, his fortune and misfortune. By Him, besides Whom there is no god, that one amongst you acts like the people deserving Paradise until between him and Paradise there remains but the distance of a cubit, when suddenly the writing of destiny overcomes him and he begins to act like the denizens of Hell and thus enters Hell, and another one acts in the way of the denizens of Hell, until there remains between him and Hell a distance of a cubit that the writing of destiny overcomes him and then he begins to act like the people of Paradise and enters Paradise.

  عبداللہ بن نمیر ہمدانی ، ابومعاویہ اور وکیع نے ہمیں حدیث بیان کی ، انہوں نے کہا : ہمیں اعمش نے زید بن وہب سے حدیث بیان کی ، انہوں نے حضرت عبداللہ ( بن مسعود ) رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت کی کہ اللہ کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اور وہ سچ بتاتے ہیں اور انہیں ( وحی کے ذریعے سے ) سچ بتایا جاتا ہے نے فرمایا : " تم میں سے ہر ایک شخص کا مادہ تخلیق چالیس دن تک اس کی ماں کے پیٹ میں اکٹھا کیا جاتا ہے ، پھر وہ اتنی مدت ( چالیس دن ) کے لیے علقہ ( جونک کی طرح رحم کی دیوار کے ساتھ چپکا ہوا ) رہتا ہے ، پھر اتنی ہی مدت کے لیے مُضغہ کی شکل میں رہتا ہے ( جس میں ریڑھ کی ہڈی کے نشانات دانت سے چبائے جانے کے نشانات سے مشابہ ہوتے ہیں ۔ ) پھر اللہ تعالیٰ فرشتے کو بھیجتا ہے جو ( پانچویں مہینے نیوروسیل ، یعنی دماغ کی تخلیق ہو جانے کے بعد ) اس میں روح پھونکتا ہے ۔ اور اسے چار باتوں کا حکم دیا جاتا ہے کہ اس کا رزق ، اس کی عمر ، اس کا عمل اور یہ کہ وہ خوش نصیب ہو گا یا بدنصیب ، لکھ لیا جائے ۔ مجھے اس ذات کی قسم جس کے سوا کوئی عبادت کے لائق نہیں! تم میں سے کوئی ایک شخص اہل جنت کے سے عمل کرتا رہتا ہے ، یہاں تک کہ جب اس کے اور جنت کے درمیان ایک بالشت کا فاصلہ رہ جاتا ہے تو ( اللہ کے علم کے مطابق ) لکھا ہوا اس پر غالب آ جاتا ہے تو وہ اہل جہنم کا عمل کر لیتا ہے اور اس ( جہنم ) میں داخل ہو جاتا ہے ۔ اور تم میں سے ایک شخص اہل جہنم کے سے عمل کرتا رہتا ہے حتی کہ اس کے اور جہنم کے درمیان ایک بالشت کا فاصلہ رہ جاتا ہے تو ( اللہ کے علم کے مطابق ) لکھا ہوا اس پر غالب آ جاتا ہے اور وہ اہل جنت کا عمل کر لیتا ہے اور اس ( جنت ) میں داخل ہو جاتا ہے ۔ "

sahih-muslim-6726

Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported: Evil one is he who is evil in the womb of his mother and the good one is he who takes a lesson from the (fate of) others. The narrator came to a person from amongst the Companions of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) who was called Hudhaifa b. Usaid Ghifari and said: How can a person be an evil one without (committing an evil) deed? Thereupon the person said to him: You are surprised at this, whereas I have heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) as saying: When forty-two nights pass after the semen gets into the womb, Allah sends the angel and gives him shape. Then he creates his sense of hearing, sense of sight, his skin, his flesh, his bones, and then says: My Lord, would he be male or female? And your Lord decides as He desires and the angel then puts down that also and then says: My Lord, what about his age? And your Lord decides as He likes it and the angel puts it down. Then he says: My Lord, what about his livelihood? And then the Lord decides as He likes and the angel writes it down, and then the angel gets out with his scroll of destiny in his hand and nothing is added to it and nothing is subtracted from it.
