قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِيٌّ وَسَعِيدٌ} [هود: 105]

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who is truthful and trustworthy, narrated to us: "Verily, the creation of the son of Adam is gathered in the womb of his mother for forty days, then it becomes a clot of blood like that, then it becomes a piece of flesh like that, then Allah sends an angel to him who writes down his lifespan, his deeds, his provisions, and whether he will be wretched or happy."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١١٨٢أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ عَنْ فِطْرٍ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ وَحَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ إِنَّ خَلْقَ ابْنِ آدَمَ يُجْمَعُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ لِأَرْبَعِينَ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مُضْغَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكًا فَيَكْتُبُ أَرْبَعًا أَجَلَهُ وَعَمَلَهُ وَرِزْقَهُ وَشَقِيًّا أَمْ سَعِيدًا
