۔ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ رَضِیَ اللّّٰہُ عَنْہُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰہِ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم : ((مَنْ کُنَّ لَہُ ثَـلَاثُ بَنَاتٍ اَوْ ثَـلَاثُ اَخَوَاتٍ، اَوْ بِنْتَانِ، اَوْ اُخْتَانِِ اِتَّقَی اللّٰہَ فِیْھِنَّ، وَاَحْسَنَ اِلَیْھِنَّ حَتّٰییُبِنَّ اَوْ یَمُتْنَ کُنَّ لَہُ حِجَابًا مِنَ النَّارِ۔))
Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has three daughters, or three sisters, or two daughters, or two sisters, and he fears Allah regarding them and treats them kindly, until they separate from him or pass away, then they will be a veil for him from Hell.
