حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ وَوَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يُجْمَعُ خَلْقُهُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ فِي أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا أَوْ قَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً قَالَ وَكِيعٌ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مُضْغَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَلَكَ بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ عَمَلُهُ وَأَجَلُهُ وَرِزْقُهُ وَشَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ الرُّوحُ فَوَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا إِلَّا ذِرَاعٌ فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ فَيُخْتَمُ لَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيَكُونُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا إِلَّا ذِرَاعٌ فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ فَيُخْتَمُ لَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَكُونُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4091
It was narrated that Abdullah said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH), who is the most truthful one, told us: "The creation of any one of you is put together in his mother's womb for forty days - or he said: forty nights - 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, may He be glorified and exalted, sends the angel to him with four words: his deeds, his lifespan, his provision, and whether he is doomed (to Hell) or blessed (destined for Paradise). Then he breathes the soul into him and by the One besides Whom there is no other God, one of you may do the deeds of the people of Paradise until there is nothing between him and it but a cubit, then the decree overtakes him and he ends his life with the deeds of the people of Hell, and he becomes one of its people. And one of you may do the deeds of the people of Hell until there is nothing between him and Hell but a cubit, then the decree overtakes him and he ends his life with the deeds of the people of Paradise, and he becomes one of its people.
