ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ ابْنَةٌ فَهُوَ مَفْدُوحٌ وَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ ابْنَتَانِ فَيَا غَوْثَاهُ بِاللَّهِ وَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ ثَلَاثٌ وُضِعَ عَنْهُ الْجِهَادُ وَ كُلُّ مَكْرُوهٍ وَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ أَرْبَعٌ فَيَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ أَعِينُوهُ يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ أَقْرِضُوهُ يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ ارْحَمُوهُ .وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَاسَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُقْبِلٍ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَلَى الْإِنَاثِ أَرْأَفُ مِنْهُ عَلَى الذُّكُورِ وَ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُدْخِلُ فَرْحَةً عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَهَا حُرْمَةٌ إِلَّا فَرَّحَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ .

Translation

Then he turned to his companions and said, "Whoever has a daughter is overburdened, and whoever has two daughters, oh, let him seek Allah's help. And whoever has three daughters, jihad and all hardships are lifted from him, and whoever has four daughters, oh servants of Allah, help him, oh servants of Allah, lend him, oh servants of Allah, have mercy on him." And from him, from Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qasani, from Abu Ayyub Suleiman ibn Muqbil al-Madaini, from Suleiman ibn Ja'far al-Ja'fari, from Abu al-Hasan al-Ridha (as), who said, "The Messenger of Allah (sw) said, 'Indeed, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, is more compassionate towards females than He is towards males. And no man brings joy to a woman with whom he has a relationship except that Allah will bring him joy on the Day of Resurrection.'"
