As-Salaamu alaikum Hanny,

If you have the full text of this hadith you’ve heard, please post a link of the content. I’d be very interested in investigating it.

But it seems to contradict the hadith I posted on this thread.

And Allah knows best.

Wa Alaikum Salaam Sr. Hafsa,

Forgive me for not responding for so long. I intended to but then forgot; most likely that was the Shaytan.

I for one have never heard such a hadith. The closest I’ve heard is the following:

Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), the truthful and the receiver of the truth informed us, saying, “The creation of you (humans) is gathered in the form of semen in the womb of your mother for forty days, then it becomes a clinging thing in similar (period), then it becomes a lump of flesh like that, then Allah sends an angel who breathes the life into it; and (the angel) is commanded to record four things about it: Its provision, its term of life (in this world), its conduct; and whether it will be happy or miserable. By the One besides Whom there is no true god! Verily, one of you would perform the actions of the dwellers of Jannah until there is only one cubit between him and it (Jannah), when what is foreordained would come to pass and he would perform the actions of the inmates of Hell until he enter it. And one of you would perform the actions of the inmates of Hell, until there is only one cubit between him and Hell. Then he would perform the acts of the dwellers of Jannah until he would enter it.”

If you can find the full text for the hadith you mentioned I would like to see it. But it seems to contradict this hadith I’ve posted (which is mentioned in Imam Nawawi’s 40 Hadith and is authentic).

And Allah knows best.

Asalam Aleikum Arahmatu allahi Abarakatu,

Asalam brother Abu Ibrahim,

Thank you for your website, may Allah bless your hard work. You have established A very informative site.
I need to ask you a question. I just heard someone tell me that they read in some hadith that when we are a fetus, that an Angel comes and gives us a choose on life or death and the outcome of both. If we chose life we are born and if we chose death we go strait to heaven. What is the truth about this. I have a problem believing this….
Thank you
