The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not dislike daughters, for they are the precious, comforting companions."
قال رسول الله ﷺ: لا تكرهوا البنات فإنهن المؤنسات الغاليات.
Ahmad (17373) and Tabarani in Al-Kabir (17/310) both narrated it from the hadith of Qutayba bin Saeed, who said, Ibn Lahia narrated to us, from Abu Ushana, from Uqba bin Amir, and he related it.Its chain is hasan on account of Ibn Lahia, about whom there is well-known discussion, but what Qutayba narrated from him can be accepted, because his narration from him took place before his confusion in later life.
