Whoever has two daughters, then seek help from Allah (swt) for him. Whoever has three daughters, the obligation of jihad and every hardship is lifted from him. And whoever has four daughters, O servants of Allah (swt), help him! O servants of Allah (swt), support him! O servants of Allah (swt), have mercy on him!"
