Family (S1) To start with the mother: Umm Qais bint Mihsan’s رضي الله عنها son passed away. When they were giving him ghusl, she رضي الله عنها said don’t wash him with cold water or he’ll die (motherly love). Umm Qais’s brother, Ukashah رضي الله عنهم (the Badri) heard this and went to tell the Messenger ﷺ. The Messenger ﷺ smiled and said: “May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى prolong her life”. She رضي الله عنها lived longer than all the women. The Messenger ﷺ: “Do not have a dislike for daughters, for they are the cheering and dear ones”. In Surah [42:49] Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى first mentions daughters before sons. What an honour for daughters. This is the complete opposite to how the Jahilliya Arabs treated daughters. They treated them like nothing. Glad tidings to the one who has daughters.
