Al-Daylami narrated two weak hadiths from Wathilah ibn al-Asqa’ and Aisha. One of them is: "Among the blessings of a woman is her giving birth to females early (in her marriage). Have you not heard the words of Allah Almighty: (He bestows female [offspring] upon whom He wills, and bestows male [offspring] upon whom He wills) [Quran 42:49]?" The other is: "Among the blessings of a woman upon her husband is the ease of her dowry and her giving birth to females early."
