حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ ، أَنَّ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي سَرِيحَةَ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأُذُنَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ ، يَقُولُ : إِنَّ النُّطْفَةَ تَقَعُ فِي الرَّحِمِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ، ثُمَّ يَتَصَوَّرُ عَلَيْهَا الْمَلَكُ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ : حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ الَّذِي يَخْلُقُهَا فَيَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ أَذَكَرٌ ، أَوْ أُنْثَى ، فَيَجْعَلُهُ اللَّهُ ذَكَرًا ، أَوْ أُنْثَى ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ أَسَوِيٌّ ، أَوْ غَيْرُ سَوِيٍّ ، فَيَجْعَلُهُ اللَّهُ سَوِيًّا ، أَوْ غَيْرَ سَوِيٍّ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ مَا رِزْقُهُ مَا أَجَلُهُ مَا خُلُقُهُ ، ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُ اللَّهُ شَقِيًّا ، أَوْ سَعِيدًا.
Abu At-Tufail said: I entered upon Abu Sarihah Hudhaifah bin Asid Al-Ghifari, and he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) with these two ears of mine, saying: "The Nutfah (sperm drop) stays in the womb for forty nights, then the angel comes down to it."- Zuhair (one of the narrators) said: "I think he said: 'The one who shapes it."' - "He says: 'O Lord, male or female?' And Allah makes it male or female. Then he says: 'O Lord, physically sound or unsound?' And Allah makes him physically sound or unsound. Then he says: 'O Lord, what is his provision?' What is his lifespan? 'Then Allah makes him doomed or blessed."'

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
Sahih Bukhari
