حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا فِطْرٌ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ يُجْمَعُ خَلْقُ أَحَدِكُمْ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مُضْغَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكًا مِنْ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَيَقُولُ اكْتُبْ عَمَلَهُ وَأَجَلَهُ وَرِزْقَهُ وَاكْتُبْهُ شَقِيًّا أَوْ سَعِيدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ غَيْرُ ذِرَاعٍ ثُمَّ يُدْرِكُهُ الشَّقَاءُ فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيَمُوتُ فَيَدْخُلُ النَّارَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّارِ غَيْرُ ذِرَاعٍ ثُمَّ تُدْرِكُهُ السَّعَادَةُ فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَمُوتُ فَيَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ

مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3934

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (RA) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), who is the most truthful one, (say): "The creation of any one of you is put together in his mother's womb for forty' days, then he becomes a 'alaqah (a piece of thick coagulated blood) for a similar period, then he becomes like a chewed piece of flesh ( mudghah ) for a similar period, then Allah sends to him one of the angels and says: 'Write down his deeds, his lifespan, his provision, and write down whether he is doomed (to Hell) or blessed (destined for Paradise)."' Then he said: By the One in Whose hand is the soul of 'Abdullah, a man may do the deeds of the people of Paradise until there is nothing between him and Paradise but a cubit, then the misfortune overtakes him and he does the deeds of the people of Hell, then he dies and enters Hell. Then he said: By the One in Whose hand is the soul of 'Abdullah, a man may do the deeds of the people of Hell until there is nothing between him and Hell but a cubit, then the good fortune overtakes him and he does the deeds of the people of Paradise, then he dies and enters Paradise.
