Hadith record

1. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alia ibn Muhammad from al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from Ali ibn Maysara who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘The seed for a believer may exist in the loins of a pagan and it is not affected by any evil thing until it is transferred into the womb of a pagan woman wherein it is not affected by any evil thing also. Even until his birth it is not affected by any evil thing until the Pen begins writing about him. (He is responsible for his deeds and his fate is determined.)’”
