عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ وَكَّلَ بِالرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ نُطْفَةٌ، يَا رَبِّ عَلَقَةٌ، يَا رَبِّ مُضْغَةٌ. فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ خَلْقَهُ قَالَ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى شَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ فَمَا الرِّزْقُ وَالأَجَلُ فَيُكْتَبُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ ".

Translation
Anas ibn Malik reported from the Prophet ﷺ that he said, “Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has appointed an angel over the womb, who says, ‘O Lord, a drop of semen! O Lord, a clinging clot! O Lord, a lump of flesh!’ Then when He wills to complete its creation, he says, ‘Male or female? Wretched or blessed? What is the provision and the life span?’ So it is written while in its mother's womb.”

Anas ibn Malik berichtete vom Propheten ﷺ, dass er sagte: „Allah, der Mächtige und Gewaltige, hat über die Gebärmutter einen Engel eingesetzt, der sagt: ‚O Herr, ein Samentropfen! O Herr, ein Blutklumpen! O Herr, ein Fleischklumpen!‘ Wenn Er dann seine Erschaffung vollenden will, sagt er: ‚Männlich oder weiblich? Unglücklich oder glückselig? Was ist die Versorgung und die Lebensfrist?‘ So wird (das) im Leib seiner Mutter niedergeschrieben.“

Allah onun yaratılışını tamamlamak istediğinde melek, ‘Erkek mi, dişi mi? Bedbaht mı, mutlu mu? Rızkı ve eceli nedir?’ der. Böylece (bunlar) annesinin karnında iken yazılır.”
