[Machine] Al-Qa'niyy narrated, and Yahya ibn 'Uthman ibn Salih narrated, and 'Abdullah ibn Yusuf narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim al-Ta'ifi, from 'Amr ibn Dinar, from Abu al-Tufayl 'Amir ibn Wathilah who said: I heard Abdullah ibn Mas'ud say, "Indeed, the wretched is one who is wretched in his mother's womb, and indeed the fortunate is one who is admonished by others." So I came to Hudhayfah ibn Asid and said to him, "Are you not surprised by the statement of Ibn Mas'ud?" He said, "And what did he say?" I said, "Indeed, the wretched is one who is wretched in his mother's womb, and indeed the fortunate is one who is admonished by others." Hudhayfah said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'When forty-five nights have passed upon the drop [of semen], the angel says, 'Is it a male or a female?' Then Allah decrees and the angel writes. Then the angel says, 'Wretched or fortunate?' Then Allah decrees and the angel writes. Then the angel says, 'His provision, his lifespan, and his deeds?' Then Allah decrees and the angel writes." Hudhayfah said, "Then the record is closed, and nothing is added or subtracted from it."
