Hadith- The Orphan

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Sahl ibn Sa'd reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I and those who care for orphans will be in the Garden like this," and he pointed with his forefinger and middle finger and made an opening between them." [al-Bukhari]

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I and an orphan's guardian, whether he is a relative or a non-relative, will be like these two in the Garden," and the transmitter, Malik ibn Anas, indicated the index and middle fingers. [Muslim]

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "'Someone who strives on behalf of widows and the poor is like someone who fights in the way of Allah.' I think that he also said, 'And like someone who continually stands at night in prayer and like someone who continually fasts.'" [Agreed upon]
