Chapter on the Virtue of Children
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 3|Chapter 49
وَ - قَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ: إِنَّ لِي بَنَاتٍ فَقَالَ "لَعَلَّكَ تَتَمَنَّى مَوْتَهُنَّ أَمَا إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَمَنَّيْتَ مَوْتَهُنَّ وَ مِتْنَ لَمْ تُؤْجَرْ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ وَ لَقِيتَ رَبَّكَ حِينَ تَلْقَاهُ وَ أَنْتَ عَاصٍ".
Umar ibn Yazid said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام: "I have daughters." The Imam عليه السلام replied: "Perhaps you wish for their death? Know that if you wish for their death and they die, you will not be rewarded on the Day of Judgment, and you will meet your Lord عز وجل while being disobedient to Him سبحانه وتعالى."
