باب فَضْلِ الإِحْسَانِ إِلَى الْبَنَاتِ:Chapter: The Virtue Of Treating Daughters Well
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ عَالَ جَارِيَتَيْنِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَا جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنَا وَهُوَ ، وَضَمَّ أَصَابِعَهُ " .
Malik reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He, who brought up two girls properly till they grew up, he and I would come (together) (very closely) on the Day of Resurrection, and he interlaced his fingers (for explaining the point of nearness between him and that person).

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Apparently, from this hadith it seems that this rank and status will be attained by the one who bore the expenses of sustenance and other needs for two daughters. However, from the first hadith and other ahadith, it is understood that raising even one daughter is an act of reward and virtue, and it is evident that concern and care for more daughters will be a cause for greater reward and elevation in ranks and status, because an increase in reward is connected to an increase in effort and hardship.
