94 – Shujaʿ ibn al-Ashras related to us; Baqiyyah ibn al-Walid related to us, from Abu Sinan, from Abu Muhammad al-ʿAmmi, who traced the report back to the Prophet ﷺ:
He was asked about a man who has one daughter. He replied, “He is weighed down.”
The man then asked, “And a man who has two daughters?” He said, “Like a beast plodding along on a night journey.”
Someone asked, “What of a man who has three daughters?” He answered, “O servants of Allah, rush to your brother’s aid!”
٩٤ - حَدَّثَنَا شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَسِ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَمِّيِّ، رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ لَهُ ابْنَةٌ قَالَ: «مُثْقَلٌ» قَالَ الرَّجُلُ: الرَّجُلُ لَهُ ابْنَتَانِ؟ قَالَ: «كَالدَّابَّةِ الدَّالِجَةِ» قِيلَ: فَالرَّجُلُ لَهُ ثَلَاثُ بَنَاتٍ؟ قَالَ: «يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ، أَغِيثُوا أَخَاكُمْ»
