سورة المرسلات

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): فَجَعَلْنَاهُ فِی قَرَارٍ مَّکِینٍ [Then We placed it in a secure resting-place]; [that is,] in the womb.

Imam Ali (peace be upon him): O well-proportioned creature and preserved being formed in the darknesses of the wombs and in layered veils, one upon another! You began from an extract drawn out of clay, and you were placed in a secure resting-place until a known term and an apportioned time. You stirred in your mother's belly as an embryo, unable to answer a call or hear any voice. Then you were brought out from your resting-place into a house you had not seen and whose paths of benefit you had not known.
