حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ وَأَبُو بَکْرٍ ابْنَا أَبِي شَيْبَةَ الْمَعْنَی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِکٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ عَنْ ابْنِ حُدَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ کَانَتْ لَهُ أُنْثَی فَلَمْ يَئِدْهَا وَلَمْ يُهِنْهَا وَلَمْ يُؤْثِرْ وَلَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ يَعْنِي الذُّکُورَ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ عُثْمَانُ يَعْنِي الذُّکُورَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5146
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ 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".
