Al-Adab al-Mufrad 134 — Virtue of Caring for an Orphan Whose Parents
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّ يَتِيمًا كَانَ يَحْضُرُ طَعَامَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، فَدَعَا بِطَعَامٍ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، فَطَلَبَ يَتِيمَهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ، فَجَاءَ بَعْدَ مَا فَرَغَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، فَدَعَا لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بِطَعَامٍ، لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُمْ، فَجَاءَه بِسَوِيقٍ وَعَسَلٍ، فَقَالَ: دُونَكَ هَذَا، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا غُبِنْتَ يَقُولُ الْحَسَنُ: وَابْنُ عُمَرَ وَاللَّهِ مَا غُبِنَ.
It is narrated from Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) that an orphan used to eat with Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). One day he ordered food, then called the orphan but did not find him present. When he finished eating, the orphan arrived. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) requested food for him again, but there was no food left with them, so the servant brought sattu (barley flour) and honey. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Eat this, by Allah! You have not suffered any loss." Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say: "By Allah! Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) also did not suffer any loss."
