حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يُجْمَعُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مُضْغَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكًا بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ، فَيُكْتَبُ عَمَلُهُ وَأَجَلُهُ وَرِزْقُهُ وَشَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ، ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ الرُّوحُ، فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا إِلاَّ ذِرَاعٌ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَيَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا إِلاَّ ذِرَاعٌ فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيَدْخُلُ النَّارَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated `Abdullah:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), the true and truly inspired said, "(as regards your creation), every one of you is collected in the womb of his mother for the first forty days, and then he becomes a clot for another forty days, and then a piece of flesh for another forty days. Then Allah sends an angel to write four items: He writes his deeds, time of his death, means of his livelihood, and whether he will be wretched or blessed (in religion). Then the soul is breathed into his body. So a man may do deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire, so much so that there is only the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been written (by the angel) surpasses, and so he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise and enters Paradise. Similarly, a person may do deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise, so much so that there is only the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been written (by the angel) surpasses, and he starts doing deeds of the people of the (Hell) Fire and enters the (Hell) Fire

Abdullah bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool, jo sachche aur sacha ilham paane wale hain, ne kaha, "(Tumhari srishti ke baare mein), tum mein se har ek ko apni maa ke garbh mein chaalis din tak joda jata hai, phir woh utne hi waqt ke liye khoon ka thakka ban jata hai, phir utne hi waqt ke liye gosht ka ek tukda. Phir Allah ek farishta bhejta hai jise chaar cheezen likhne ka hukum diya jata hai: woh uske amal, uski maut ka waqt, uski rozi, aur woh Jannat wale honge ya Dozakh wale, yeh likhta hai. Phir usmein rooh phunki jaati hai. Isliye insaan Dozakh walon jaisa amal karta reh sakta hai jab tak uske aur Dozakh ke beech sirf ek haath ki doori na rah jaaye, aur phir jo likha gaya hai woh amal mein aa jata hai, aur woh Jannat walon jaisa amal karna shuru kar deta hai aur Jannat mein daakhil hota hai. Isi tarah, insaan Jannat walon jaisa amal karta reh sakta hai jab tak uske aur Jannat ke beech sirf ek haath ki doori na rah jaaye, aur phir jo likha gaya hai woh amal mein aa jata hai, aur woh Dozakh walon jaisa amal karna shuru kar deta hai aur Dozakh mein daakhil hota hai."
