Chapter: The virtue of one who takes care of an orphan.
Sunan Abu Dawud 5149 — The virtue of one who takes care of an orphan
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّهَّاسُ بْنُ قَهْمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي شَدَّادٌ أَبُو عَمَّارٍ ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَا وَامْرَأَةٌ سَفْعَاءُ الْخَدَّيْنِ كَهَاتَيْنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَأَوْمَأَ يَزِيدُ بِالْوُسْطَى وَالسَّبابةِ ، امْرَأَةٌ آمَتْ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا ذَاتُ مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ حَبَسَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَى يَتَامَاهَا حَتَّى بَانُوا أَوْ مَاتُوا " .
Narrated Awf ibn Malik al-Ashjai: The Prophet ﷺ said: I and a woman whose cheeks have become black shall on the Day of Resurrection be like these two (pointing to the middle and forefinger), i. e. a woman of rank and beauty who has been bereft of her husband and devotes herself to her fatherless children till they go their separate ways or die.
