The Imams have narrated various hadiths about the blessings of having daughters and serving them or women from one’s close relatives, and they always tried to remind people of this matter. Stay with Saed News.
The Noble Prophet (PBUH), to whom Allah granted every blessing and who was the beloved of Allah, was a father of several daughters whose names are recorded in history. Their graves have always been honored by Muslims. When Allah blessed the Prophet with His last child, due to the ignorant customs of the Arabs at the time and the prevalent negative attitudes, they began mocking him and called him "Abtar," meaning one whose lineage would not continue, unaware that great blessings were descending upon the house of Muhammad (PBUH).

Fatimah (SA), the mother of children whom no one had ever seen before, became the "mother of the Imams" and achieved the highest position a woman could attain. Below are some hadiths about daughters, which we invite you to explore.

Whoever brightens the eyes of a son is as if he has cried out of fear of Allah, and whoever cries out of fear of Allah, Allah will admit him to Paradise."
