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.
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيِّ أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ وَاثِلَةَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ممم الشَّقِيُّ مَنْ شَقِيَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ وَالسَّعِيدُ مَنْ وُعِظَ بِغَيْرِهِ فَأَتَى رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُقَالُ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ أَسِيدٍ الْغِفَارِيُّ فَحَدَّثَهُ بِذَلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ وَكَيْفَ يَشْقَى رَجُلٌ بِغَيْرِ عَمَلٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ أَتَعْجَبُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا مَرَّ بِالنُّطْفَةِ ثِنْتَانِ وَأَرْبَعُونَ لَيْلَةً بَعَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهَا مَلَكًا فَصَوَّرَهَا وَخَلَقَ سَمْعَهَا وَبَصَرَهَا وَجِلْدَهَا وَلَحْمَهَا وَعِظَامَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى فَيَقْضِي رَبُّكَ مَا شَاءَ وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَجَلُهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبُّكَ مَا شَاءَ وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ رِزْقُهُ فَيَقْضِي رَبُّكَ مَا شَاءَ وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ الْمَلَكُ بِالصَّحِيفَةِ فِي يَدِهِ فَلَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى مَا أُمِرَ وَلَا يَنْقُصُ
  عمرو بن حارث نے ابوزبیر علی سے روایت کی کہ حضرت عامر بن واثلہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے انہیں حدیث بیان کی ، انہوں نے حضرت عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ کو یہ کہتے ہوئے سنا : بدبخت وہ ہے جو اپنی ماں کے پیٹ میں ( تھا تو اللہ کے علم کے مطابق ) بدبخت تھا اور سعادت مند وہ ہے جو اپنے علاوہ دوسرے سے نصیحت حاصل کرے ، پھر رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے صحابہ میں سے ایک شخص آئے جنہیں حضرت حذیفہ بن اسید غفاری رضی اللہ عنہ کہا جاتا تھا ، انہوں ( عامر بن واثلہ رضی اللہ عنہ ) نے ان کو حضرت ابن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ کے الفاظ میں یہ حدیث سنائی اور ( ان سے پوچھنے کے لیے ) کہا : وہ شخص کوئی عمل کیے بغیر بدبخت کیسے ہو جاتا ہے؟ تو اس ( عامر ) کو آدمی ( حذیفہ رضی اللہ عنہ ) نے کہا : کیا آپ اس پر تعجب کرتے ہیں؟ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو یہ فرماتے ہوئے سنا ہے : " جب نطفے پر ( تیسرے مرحلے کی ) بیالیس راتیں گذر جاتی ہیں تو اللہ تعالیٰ اس کے پاس ایک فرشتہ بھیجتا ہے ، وہ اس کی صورت بناتا ہے ، اس کے کان ، آنکھیں ، کھال ، گوشت اور اس کی ہڈیاں بناتا ہے ، پھر کہتا ہے : اے میرے رب! یہ مرد ہو گا کہ عورت؟ پھر تمہارا رب جو چاہتا ہوتا ہے وہ فیصلہ بتاتا ہے اور فرشتہ لکھ لیتا ہے ، پھر وہ کہتا ہے : اے میرے رب! اس کی مدت حیات ( کتنی ہو گی؟ ) پھر تمہارا رب جو اس کی مچیت ہوتی ہے ، بتاتا ہے اور فرشتہ لکھ لیتا ہے ، پھر وہ ( فرشتہ ) کہتا ہے : اے میرے رب! اس کا رزق ( کتنا ہو گا؟ ) تو تمہارا رب جو چاہتا ہوتا ہے وہ فیصلہ بتاتا ہے اور فرشتہ لکھ لیتا ہے ، پھر فرشتہ اپنے ہاتھ میں صحیفہ لے کر نکل جاتا ہے ، چنانچہ وہ شخص کسی معاملے میں نہ اس سے بڑھتا ہے ، نہ کم ہوتا ہے ۔ "

Abu Tufail reported: I visited Abu Sariha Hudhaifa b. Usaid al-Ghifari who said: I listened with these two ears of mine Allahs Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) as saying: The semen stays in the womb for forty nights, then the angel, gives it a shape. Zubair said: I think that he said: One who fashions that and decides whether he would be male or female. Then he (the angel) says: Would his limbs be full or imperfect? And then the Lord makes thein full and perfect or otherwise as He desires. Then he says: My Lord, what about his livelihood, and his death and what about his disposition? And then the Lord decides about his misfortune and fortune.

What about his livelihood and his age? And it is all written as he is in the womb of his mother.

Ali reported: We were in a funeral in the graveyard of Gharqad when Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) came to us and we sat around him. He had a stick with him. He lowered his head and began to scratch the earth with his stick, and then said: There is not one amongst you whom a seat in Paradise or Hell has not been allotted and about whom it has not been written down whether he would be an evil person or a blessed person. A person said: Allah's Messenger, should we not then depend upon our destiny and abandon our deeds? Thereupon he said: Acts of everyone will be facilitated in that which has been created for him so that whoever belongs to the company of the blessed will have good works made easier for him and whoever belongs to the unfortunate ones will have evil acts made easier for him. He then recited this verse (from the Qur'an): Then, who gives to the needy and guards against evil and accepts the excellent (the truth of Islam and the path of righteousness it prescribes), We shall make easy for him the easy end and who is miserly and considers himself above need, We shall make easy for him the difficult end (92: 5-10).
