Prophetic guidance in dealing with his sons and daughters
The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, loved and honored his daughters, this is a lesson for the one who is blessed with daughters, even if they are many. He should show happiness at having them, thank Allah for the offspring He has given him, and make sure to give them a good upbringing and teach them noble manners.
The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:
“Whoever is tested with some daughters and he is good to them, they will be a barrier for him from the Hellfire.”
The meaning of tested is that Allah will see how he acts towards them, will he treat them well or not? Thus, whoever is good to them, they will be a protection and barrier for him from the Hellfire because of his good treatment of his daughters. This is because the girl is weak and vulnerable, so she needs special care and greater attention.
One of the obligations of the father is to marry his daughter to a worthy man who is both religious and has good manners.
