#2 Creation

The book of stories of the Prophets

(5) Chapter. The creation of Adam and his offspring

Hadeeth 3333.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِۦ وَسَلَّمَ said, "Allah has appointed an angel in the womb, and the angel says, 'O Lord! A drop of discharge (i.e. of semen), O Lord! a clot, O Lord! a piece of flesh.' And then, if Allah wishes to complete the child's creation, the angel will say. 'O Lord! A male or a female? O Lord! wretched or blessed (in religion)? What will his livelihood be? What will his age be?' The angel writes all this while the child is in the womb of its mother."
