بَابُ فَضْلِ مَنْ يَعُولُ يَتِيمًا مِنْ أَبَوَيْهِChapter: Virtue of Caring for an Orphan Whose Parents Have Died
Hadith 133
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي أُنَيْسَةُ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَعِيدٍ بِنْتِ مُرَّةَ الْفِهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”أَنَا وَكَافِلُ الْيَتِيمِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ كَهَاتَيْنِ، أَوْ كَهَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ.“ شَكَّ سُفْيَانُ فِي الْوُسْطَى وَالَّتِي تَلِي الإِبْهَامَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Marrah bin Amr Fihri, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I and the one who takes care of an orphan will be in Paradise like this (like the finger of shahada and the one next to it) or like this and this finger (side by side)." Sufyan was uncertain whether the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, indicated with the middle finger and the one next to the thumb (as to which fingers he pointed with).
