Chapter 43 · General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)فِي فَضْلِ مَنْ عَالَ يَتَامَى
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَا أَبِي شَيْبَةَ الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ، عَنْ ابْنِ حُدَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أُنْثَى فَلَمْ يَئِدْهَا وَلَمْ يُهِنْهَا وَلَمْ يُؤْثِرْ وَلَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا، قَالَ يَعْنِي الذُّكُورَ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ عُثْمَانُ يَعْنِي الذُّكُورَ.

The virtue of one who takes care of an orphan
The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone has a female child, and does not bury her alive, or slight her, or prefer his children (i.e. the male ones) to her, Allah will bring him into Paradise. Uthman did not mention male children .
