Is the Hadith, "The best of you is he who hastens [to marry off his daughter] with a virgin," authentic from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?

There is no authentic with the wording "Among the blessings of a woman is an abundance of her daughters." However, it has been narrated with the wording "Among the blessings of a woman is her giving birth to a female early on," and "Among the blessings of a woman upon her husband is the ease of her dowry and her giving birth to females early on." Both of these are weak, and the first one has even been judged as fabricated.
