It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has three daughters and is patient with their hardship and their ease (in times of difficulty and comfort), Allah Almighty will admit him into Paradise because of His mercy to them (the daughters)." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, and if there are two?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And two (daughters as well)." Then a man said: "O Messenger of Allah, and if there is one?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And one (as well)." This hadith is sahih al-isnad (its chain is authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a group of his Companions, and there was a child in the road. When his mother saw the (herd of) animals, she feared that her son would be trampled underfoot. She ran in a frantic panic, crying out: "My child, my child!" Then she picked up her son. The people said: "O Prophet of Allah, this (mother) is not one who would throw her child into the Fire." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, by Allah! Allah (too) will not throw His beloved into the Fire." The narrator said: So the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established the argument against them (by proving his point from their own words). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has a daughter born to him and does not bury her alive (as was done in the days of ignorance), nor humiliate her, nor prefer his son over her, Allah Almighty will admit him into Paradise because of her." This hadith is sahih al-isnad (its chain is authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) asking for something, and she had her two children with her. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave her three dates. The woman gave each of the two children one date and kept one date for herself (to eat). The two children ate their dates; then the woman took her own date, divided it into two parts, and gave each of her two children half a date. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) told him (peace and blessings be upon him) of this incident, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is it about this that amazes you? Indeed, Allah Almighty has shown mercy to her because of her mercy to her own children." This hadith is sahih al-isnad (its chain is authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
