4th Hadith Of The
Forty Hadith
On the
authority of Abdullah bin Masud, who said : the
messenger of Allah, and he is the truthful, the
believed narrated to us :
"Verily the creation of each one of you is brought
together in his mother's belly for forty days in
the form of seed, then he is a clot of blood for a
like period, then a morsel of flesh for a like
period, then there is sent to him the angel who
blows the breath of life into him and who is
commanded about four matters: to write down his
means of livelihood, his life span, his actions,
and whether happy or unhappy. By Allah, other than
Whom there is no god, verily one of you behaves
like the people of Paradise until there is but an
arm's length between him and it, and that which
has been written over takes him and so he behaves
like the people of Hell-fire and thus he enters
it; and one of you behaves like the people of
Hell-fire until there is but an arm's length
between him and it, and that which has been
written over takes him and so he behaves like the
people of Paradise and thus he enters it."
