Muhammad ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Numayr and Zuhayr ibn Harb narrated to us—and the wording is that of Ibn Numayr—they said: Sufyan ibn ʿUyaynah narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Dinar, from Abu al-Tufayl, from Hudhayfah ibn Asid, who conveyed it to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: "The angel enters upon the drop of fluid after it has settled in the womb for forty or forty-five nights, and says: 'O Lord, is it wretched or blessed?' So both are written. Then he says: 'O Lord, is it male or female?' So both are written. And his deeds, his traces, his term, and his provision are written. Then the scrolls are folded, and nothing is added to them nor diminished from them."
