Hadith.4691 - It is narrated: "Whoever dies without leaving behind a successor, it is as if he was never among the people. And whoever dies and leaves behind a successor, it is as if he never died."

"Daughters are good deeds, and sons are blessings. Good deeds are rewarded, and blessings are questioned about."
