Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever from among the Muslims has two daughters born to him, and as long as they remain with him, he treats them kindly, then because of them he will enter Paradise."

The wife of the Messenger, Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), says that a woman came to me with her two daughters and asked me (for something). I had only one date with me, so I gave it to her. She took it and divided it between her two daughters, and did not eat anything herself, and then she left with her daughters. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, I told him the whole story. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is tested by these daughters and treats them well, they will be a shield for him from the Fire (of Hell)."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever raised two or three daughters or two or three sisters, until they died (in one narration: until they went away, and in another narration: until they reached maturity), or he himself died, then I and he will be like these two fingers." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his index and middle fingers.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever raises three daughters in such a way that he provides for them fully, shows mercy to them, and treats them with kindness, he will be in Paradise."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever raises two daughters until they reach maturity, then I and he will come like this on the Day of Resurrection." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) joined his fingers together to illustrate the closeness.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has two sisters or two daughters, and he treats them well as long as they stay with him, then I and he will be like this in Paradise (close to each other)." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified by joining his two fingers together.

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever has three daughters and he is patient with them, and strives to feed them, give them drink, and clothe them, then they will be a shield for him from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has three daughters, provides them residence, supports them, and shows mercy and kindness to them, Paradise will be made obligatory for him in every case." A man asked: O Messenger of Allah! And if he has two daughters? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if he has two."

Sayyiduna Anas (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, and he fears Allah regarding them and takes care of them, then I and he will be in Paradise like this (close together)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his index and middle fingers.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has three daughters and provides for their residence, treats them kindly, and supports them, then Paradise will surely become obligatory for him." It was asked: O Messenger of Allah! What if there are two daughters? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if there are two." Some people thought that if you had been asked about one daughter, you would have said: Even if there is one.
