Surah An-Nahl (النحل) • The Bee

Quran 16:58

16:58

وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِٱلْأُنثَىٰ ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُۥ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ

wa-idhā bushira aḥaduhum bil-unthā ẓalla wajhuhu mus'waddan wahuwa kaẓīmun

When one of them is given news of the birth of a baby girl, his face darkens and he is filled with gloom.

And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief!
