اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، عَنْ لَيْثِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ ذَرَّةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَا وَكَافِلُ الْيَتِيمِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ كَهَاتَيْنِ " ، وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى ، " وَالسَّاعِي عَلَى الْيَتِيمِ وَالْأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ، وَالصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ لَا يَفْتُرُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I and the one who takes care of and looks after an orphan will be in Paradise like these two fingers (close together)," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed, joining his index finger and middle finger together; "and the one who looks after the orphan, the widow and the needy, and strives to provide for their needs, is like one who fights in jihad in the way of Allah, and like the one who fasts and stands in prayer at night and never feels any laxity or weariness (in worship and devotion)."
This hadith has supporting reports in Sahih al-Bukhari (5353) and Sahih Muslim (2983), on account of which this text is sahih (authentic), although in its present chain Layth bin Abi Sulaym has been graded da'if (weak) because of his poor memory.
