Question
When a baby girl is born a caller says
ضعيفة خرجت من ضعيفة
Is this authentic?
Answer
This is part of a longer narration recorded by Imam Tabarani.
The part in question is as follows:
“When a girl is born, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla sends angels who say: ‘…A delicate [child] that came out of a delicate woman…’”
(Al Mu’jamus Saghir, Hadith: 70)
However, the chain has been declared unreliable. The Hadith is therefore not suitable to quote.
(Refer: Lisanul Mizan, vol. 1 pg. 404, number: 391 and Tanzihush Shari’ah, vol. 2 pg. 201)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
