Daughters
Imam Sadeq (AS) has
said:
* * *
“Surely Prophet Ibrahim
(AS) called on God to give him a daughter to weep after his death.”
The Holy Prophet (SAW) has said:
* * *
“What good offspring
are the girls! For they are kind, obedient, sympathetic and having
blessing with them.”
* * *
“Whoever curses his
child, God will afflict him with poverty.”
Imam Sadeq (AS) has also said:
* * *
“Girls are as
benefaction but boys are as riches. On the Day of Judgment, there will
be reward for the benefaction but riches will be questioned of.”
The holy Prophet (SAW) has said:
* * *
“Whoever has three
daughters or three sons, paradise is his due.”
It was asked: O Messenger of Allah, how about two? The Holy Prophet
(SAW) said:
“The same is true with two.” It was asked: O Messenger of Allah, how
about one? The Holy Prophet said:
“The same is true with one.”
The Holy Prophet (SAW) has also said:
“Whoever has three daughters or sisters and is patient in taking care of
them until they get married or die he and me are as these two fingers on
paradise - at this time, the Holy Prophet referred to his index and
middle fingers.”
It was asked: O Messenger of Allah, what happens if they are two? The
Holy Prophet (SAW) said:
“The same is true with two.” It was asked, how about one?
The Holy Prophet said: “The same is true with one.”
A man to whom a baby girl was born and seeing he was angry, Imam Sadeq
(AS) said:

girl for you.
About the boy whom Khidr killed as mentioned in verse 81 of the Quranic
Chapter, the Cave:
* * *
“So we desired that
their Lord might give them in his place one better than him in purity
and nearer to having compassion.”
Imam Sadeq (AS) said instead of that son God gave them a daughter from
whose generation, seventy prophets came.
4-Kinsfolk
The Holy Prophet (SAW) has said:
* * *
“I recommend ties of
kinship to those who are present or absent and every one of my Ummah
being in the loins of men and wombs of women till the Day of Judgment
even if there is a gap as long as a year between them, for ties of
kinship is part of religion.”
The Holy Prophet (SAW) has also said:
* * *
“One side of Sarat
(bridge which the righteous only can cross on the road to paradise) on
the Day of Judgment is trustworthiness and the other is ties of
kinsfolk. One who has been trustworthy and has observed ties of
kinsfolk, crosses the bridge and goes to paradise, however, one who
breaches the trust and is heedless of relatives can not cross the
bridge, for his other deeds will not avail him and Sarat will throw him.
