kindness.

The Companion Anas b. Mālik رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates that the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Whoever has three daughters and fears Allah in their matter, raising them well, he will be with me in Paradise like this.” While saying this, the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gestured towards his four fingers, to illustrate the level of closeness.^[1]

In another narration, it is mentioned for two daughters: “Whoever raises two daughters, I and he will be like this in Paradise.” The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then joined two of his fingers to display this.^[2]

Mufti Aḥmad Yār Khān رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه explains:

Such hopes are not typically placed on daughters, which is why raising daughters with patience and care is especially rewarding. This reward applies to sisters as well as daughters.^[3]

Happily raising two girls—whether they are one’s own daughters, sisters, or orphans is a means of closeness to the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on the Day of Judgement. On that day, the one who attains this proximity to the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has indeed attained everything.
