Below is a combination of many Prophetic Ahadith narrated on the topic of raising girls and its rewards.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever has three daughters, or three sisters, and

1. fears Allah regarding them,[i]
2. takes up the responsibility of caring for them,[ii]
3. supports them,[iii]
4. spends on them,[iv]
5. gives them shelter,[v]
6. feeds them,[vi]
7. gives them to drink,[vii]
8. clothes them from his wealth,[viii]
9. conceals them,[ix]
10. treats them kindly,[x]
11. disciplines them,[xi]
12. gives them a good upbringing,[xii]
13. prevents them (from wrongdoing)[xiii]
14. is patient towards them,[xiv]
15. keeps good company with them,[xv]
16. has mercy on them,[xvi]
17. is sufficient for them,[xvii]
18. does not bury them alive,[xviii]
19. does not humiliate them,[xix]
20. does not prefer his (male) children over them,[xx]
21. (does all this) until they reach maturity and then,[xxi]
22. marries them off,[xxii]
23. or they die,[xxiii]

• For him is the rewards of the mujahid in path of Allah while fasting and standing (in prayer),[xxiv]
• They will be a barrier for him on the Day of Judgment from the Hell Fire,[xxv]
• And I and he will come on the Day of Judgement like this (and the Prophet closed his fingers)[xxvi]
• And he will enter Paradise,[xxvii]
• I and he will enter Paradise like these two (And the Prophet indicated with his two fingers.)”

A Sahabi asked, “And two, O Messenger of Allah?” He ﷺ replied, “Even two.”[xxviii] A Sahabi said, “If someone had asked, ‘And one?’ he ﷺ would have replied, ‘Even one.’”[xxix]

There is a narration of ‘Sunan Ibn Majah’ where the Messenger ﷺ explicitly mentions the above for raising even one daughter.
