In some hadiths of the Prophet (pbuh), the best women are those who give birth to many children. Sometimes these hadiths create challenges and failure to evaluating them leads to the acceptance of the same ruling for all situations that is not the intention of Allah, and this clarifies the importance and necessity of the matter. In this article, by referring to the Qur'an and Hadith and the rule of reason, it is examined that having this feature is not always at the disposal of human beings; Including infertility and etc. In addition, just having a child does not make women virtuous, but having a righteous child makes a woman better. The third point is that the hadith deals with goodness and betterness, and it can be a worldly matter and has nothing to do with virtue, and considering that the criterion for the superiority of human beings in the verses of the Qur'an is piety. Matters that are beyond human control, negatively and positively. It cannot be a criterion for virtue or vice.
