Chapter on the Virtue of Children
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 3|Chapter 49
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِذَا أَصَابَ اَلرَّجُلُ اِبْنَةً بَعَثَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهَا مَلَكاً فَأَمَرَّ جَنَاحَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا وَ صَدْرِهَا وَ قَالَ ضَعِيفَةٌ خُلِقَتْ مِنْ ضَعْفٍ اَلْمُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهَا مُعَانٌ".
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "When a man is blessed with a daughter, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, sends an angel to her who passes his wing over her head and chest and says, 'A fragile being created from weakness; whoever provides for her will be assisted.'"
