Menstrual Periods
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 318
يَا رَبِّ نُطْفَةٌ، يَا رَبِّ عَلَقَةٌ، يَا رَبِّ مُضْغَةٌ. فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ خَلْقَهُ قَالَ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى شَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ فَمَا الرِّزْقُ وَالأَجَلُ فَيُكْتَبُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ
yā rabbi nuṭfatun, yā rabbi ʿalaqatun, yā rabbi muḍghatun. fa-idhā arāda an yaqḍiya khalqah qāla adhakarun am unthā shaqiyyun am saʿīdun famā ar-rizqu wa-l-ajalu fayuktabu fī baṭni ummihi

The full narration
Narrated Anas bin Malik:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "At every womb Allah appoints an angel who says, 'O Lord! A drop of semen, O Lord! A clot. O Lord! A little lump of flesh." Then if Allah wishes (to complete) its creation, the angel asks, (O Lord!) Will it be a male or female, a wretched or a blessed, and how much will his provision be? And what will his age be?' So all that is written while the child is still in the mother's womb
