عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَالِكٌ أَوِ ابْنُ مَالِكٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَيُّمَا مُسْلِمٍ ضَمَّ يَتِيمًا بَيْنَ أَبَوَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ وَشَرَابِهِ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنِيَ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ الْبَتَّةَ وَأَيُّمَا مُسْلِمٍ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً أَوْ رَجُلًا مُسْلِمًا كَانَتْ فِكَاكَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ وَالِدَيْهِ أَوْ أَحَدَهُمَا فَدَخَلَ النَّارَ فَأَبْعَدَهُ اللَّهُ
Zararah bin Aufi narrates from a companion of his people named Malik or Ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever Muslim keeps an orphaned child—who has lost both Muslim parents—with him in his food and drink, until Allah Almighty makes that orphan self-sufficient, then Paradise will definitely become obligatory for him. Whoever Muslim frees a Muslim slave, this will become a cause for his freedom from the Fire. And whoever finds both or even one of his parents and still enters Hell, then Allah Almighty will distance him.
