What is the authenticity of the hadith: "There is no one from my Ummah who supports three daughters or three sisters and treats them well, except that they will be a shield for him from the Fire"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The aforementioned Hadith was narrated by Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad and Al-Bayhaqi in Shu'ab Al-Iman, among others, with the wording: "There is no one from my Ummah who takes care of three daughters or three sisters and treats them well, except that they will be a shield for him from the Hellfire." Al-Albani authenticated it and stated that its chain of narration is good, but he feared there might be an error in its wording from the father of Abu Hammam, Shuja' ibn Al-Walid, due to critics' remarks about his memory, though he did convey the meaning correctly.
