عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْعَبَّاسِ اَلزَّيَّاتِ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ: أُتِيَ رَجُلٌ وَ هُوَ عِنْدَ اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَأُخْبِرَ بِمَوْلُودٍ أَصَابَهُ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ اَلرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ لَهُ اَلنَّبِيُّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا لَكَ فَقَالَ خَيْرٌ فَقَالَ قُلْ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ تَمْخَضُ فَأُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّهَا وَلَدَتْ جَارِيَةً فَقَالَ لَهُ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ اَلْأَرْضُ تُقِلُّهَا وَ اَلسَّمَاءُ تُظِلُّهَا وَ اَللَّهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَ هِيَ رَيْحَانَةٌ تَشَمُّهَا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ اِبْنَةٌ فَهُوَ مَفْدُوحٌ وَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ اِبْنَتَانِ فَيَا غَوْثَاهْ بِاللَّهِ وَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ ثَلاَثٌ وُضِعَ عَنْهُ اَلْجِهَادُ وَ كُلُّ مَكْرُوهٍ وَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ أَرْبَعٌ فَيَا عِبَادَ اَللَّهِ أَعِينُوهُ يَا عِبَادَ اَللَّهِ أَقْرِضُوهُ يَا عِبَادَ اَللَّهِ اِرْحَمُوهُ .
6. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid from Ali ibn al-Hakam from abu al-‘Abbas al- Zayyat from Hamzah ibn Humran in a marfu‘ manner has said the following: “A man once was with the Holy Prophet (saww) and he informed him about the birth of a child but his face changed. The Holy Prophet asked him, ‘What is the matter with you?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘Say that it is good.’ He then said, ‘I left and my wife was in labor. I am informed that she has given birth to a girl.’ The Holy Prophet said, ‘The earth carries her weight, the sky provides her shadow, Allah gives her sustenance and she is a sweet smelling flower: you enjoy her fragrance.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) then said this to his companions: ‘One who has one daughter carries a heavy load, one who has two daughters is like scorched land that begs for rain from Allah and one who has three daughters is exempt from Jihad (serving in the army) and all hardships. One who has four daughters, then O slaves of Allah you must help him, O slaves of Allah you must give him a loan and O slaves of Allah you must have mercy on him.’”
