Benefits of the Hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: First: Evidence of the Wisdom and Power of Allah in the Creation of Man

The Shaykh : This great hadith, narrated by Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), contains many rulings. Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) discussed them in his commentary on the Nawawi Forty, titled *Jami' al-'Ulum wa al-Hukm* (The Comprehensive Collection of Knowledge and Rulings). However, we will mention some of the benefits:
First: In this hadith, there is evidence of the wisdom of Allah the Exalted in creation and development. He is Mighty and Majestic, and He is capable of creating the fetus alive and sound in an instant, by saying "Be, and it is." But His wisdom necessitated that creation proceed through stages.
