Pearl of Wisdom
with regards to the creation of the human in the womb said, 'When four months are completed, Allah sends two creative angels...., and they ask, ?O Lord, shall it be wretched or prosperous?' Again, they are commanded, and they then ask, ?O Lord, what is its due date of death, its sustenance, and all other matters relating to its state [and he listed some of them]-?' And they then go about writing a covenant between his eyes.'
Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as] al-Kafi, v. 6, p. 13, no. 3
