Majma al-Zawaid 13508 — Reports on orphans, widows and the poor
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا شَكَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَسْوَةَ قَلْبِهِ فَقَالَ : " امْسَحْ رَأْسَ الْيَتِيمِ وَأَطْعِمِ الْمِسْكِينَ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: A man complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the hardness of his heart, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pass your hand over the head of an orphan, and feed the poor."
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
