Hadeeth Four:
الحَديثُ الرَّابِعُ
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ؛ وَهُوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ: إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يُجْمَعُ خَلْقُهُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا نُطْفَةً، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مُضْغَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ اللهُ إلَيْهِ الْمَلَكَ، فَيَنْفُخُ فِيْهِ الرُّوْحَ، وَيُؤْمَرُ بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ؛ بِكَتْبِ رِزْقِهِ، وَعَمَلِهِ، وَأَجَلِهِ، وَشَقِيٌّ، أَوْ سَعِيدٌ، فَوَالَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ! إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؛ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا إِلاّ ذِرَاعٌ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، فَيَدْخُلُهَا، وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ؛ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا إِلاّ ذِرَاعٌ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَيَدْخُلُهَ.
رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ
From Abu 'Abd ar-Rahman 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud there is that he said, " The Messenger of Allah told us - and he is the truthful one who is confirmed, - 'The creation of any one of you is gathered in the belly of his mother for forty days as a drop, the later a blood clot for the like of that, then later a morsel of flesh for the like of that. Then the angel is sent to him and breathes the ruh (spirit) into him, and he is commanded with four words: with writing his provision, his life-span, his action, and whether he is fortunate or unfortunate. By Allah the One other that Whom there is no god, one of you will do the actions of the people of the Garden until there is only a cubit between him and it, then the decree will overtake him, he will do the actions of the people of the Fire and thus enter it. One of you will do the actions of the people of the Fire until there only remains a cubit between him and it, then the decree will overtake him, he will do the actions of the people of the Garden and so enter it."
[Bukhari and Musalim Narrated it]
