Hadeeth Number 4:

عن أبي عبد الرحمن عبد الله بن مسعـود رضي الله عنه ، قال : حدثنا رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم – وهو الصادق المصدوق - :( إن أحـدكم يجمع خلقه في بطن أمه أربعين يوما نطفه ، ثم يكون علقة مثل ذلك ، ثم يكون مـضغـة مثل ذلك ، ثم يرسل إليه الملك ، فينفخ فيه الروح ، ويـؤمر بأربع كلمات : بكتب رزقه ، واجله ، وعمله ، وشقي أم سعيد ؛ فوالله الـذي لا إلــه غـيره إن أحــدكم ليعـمل بعمل أهل الجنه حتى ما يكون بينه وبينها إلا ذراع فيسبق عليه الكتاب فيعـمل بعـمل أهــل النار فـيـدخـلها . وإن أحدكم ليعمل بعمل أهل النار حتي ما يكون بينه وبينها إلا ذراع فــيسـبـق عليه الكتاب فيعمل بعمل أهل الجنة فيدخلها ) رواه البخار ومسلم

On the authority of Abu `Abd ar-Rahmaan `Abdullaah ibn Mas`ud (radiAllaahu anhu), who said: The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and he is the Truthful, the Believed, narrated to us:
Verily the creation of each one of you is brought together in his mother's womb for forty days in the form of a seed, and then he is a clot of blood for a like period, then a morsel of flesh for a like period, then there is sent to him the angel who blows his soul into him and who is commanded with four matters: to write down his means of livelihood (rizq /sustenance), his life span, his actions, and whether he will be happy or unhappy.

By the One, other than Whom there is no deity, verily one of you performs the actions of the people of Paradise until there is but an arms length between him and it, and that which has been written overtakes him, and so he acts with the actions of the people of the Hellfire and thus enters it; and verily one of you performs the actions of the people of the Hellfire, until there is but an arms length between him and it, and that which has been written overtakes him and so he acts with the actions of the people of Paradise and thus he enters it. [Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim.]

The shaikh (hafidhah ullah) explained that this hadeeth from the Forty Hadeeth that is related by Ibn Mas’ud is known as الصادق المصدوق (As- sadeeq al-masdooq).

This is because the Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) he is:

الصادق - (As- sadeeq) – The Truthful one – He is the one who truthfully relays what was revealed to him he neither increased or cut out what was sent down to him and what he said.
المصدوق -(al-masdooq)- which the shaikh preferred to define as the one declared truthful and the one who Allaah Aids.

This Aid from Allah was in two ways:
a) Aided by Revelation:
b) Aided by those matters which are unexplainable and miracles which cause others to believe in him.
