Hadith-No.4
On the authority of 'Abdul-Rahman' Abdullahi bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) he said: The messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give Him peace) and who is the truthful and trustworthy told us: "Verily, the creation of each one of you is assembled in the womb of his mother for forty days as a "NUTFAT" (first stage of its development) then it becomes "ALAQAT" (second stage of its development) in the same way, and then in a similar way it becomes "AL-MUDUGHAT" (foetus-final stage of its development). Thereafter an angel is sent to it who puts the "RUH" in to it and he will be ordered by four words:writing about his means of living (livelihood) and the span of life, his actions and whether he will be among the condemned or fortunate ones. By Allah there is no God except Him, surely anyone of you who does work which may lead to Paradise, until it remains an arm's length between him and it (paradise), then the written (book) will overcome him so that he starts doing hellish deeds and enters into it (Hell). And anyone of you who does work which may lead to hell until it remains an arm's length between him and it (Hell) then the written (Book) will overcome him so that he starts doing heavenly deeds and enters into it (paradise).
