حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْكَلْبِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ , عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ عَالَ ثَلَاثَةً مِنَ الْأَيْتَامِ , كَانَ كَمَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَهُ , وَصَامَ نَهَارَهُ , وَغَدَا وَرَاحَ شَاهِرًا سَيْفَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ , وَكُنْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَخَوَيْنِ كَهَاتَيْنِ أُخْتَانِ " , وَأَلْصَقَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةَ وَالْوُسْطَى .
´It was narrated from `Abdullah bin `Abbas that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:` "Whoever raises three orphans, is like the one who spends his nights in prayer and fasts during the day, and goes out morning and evening drawing his sword in the cause of Allah. In Paradise, he and I will be brothers like these two sisters,'and he held up his forefinger and middle finger together."

Benefits and Issues:
The aforementioned narration is weak in its chain of transmission; however, this statement of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) regarding the sponsorship of an orphan is narrated with an authentic chain:
“The one who sponsors an orphan, whether he is a relative or a stranger, and I will be in Paradise like these two (fingers).” (While saying this, the narrator gestured with his index and middle fingers.)
(Sahih Muslim, Al-Zahid, Chapter: The Virtue of Kindness to the Widow, the Poor, and the Orphan, Hadith: 2983)
