بِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ مَسَحَ رَأْسَ يَتِيمٍ لَمْ يمسحه إلالله كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ تَمُرُّ عَلَيْهَا يَدُهُ حَسَنَاتٌ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَى يَتِيمَةٍ أَوْ يَتِيمٍ عِنْدَهُ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ كَهَاتَيْنِ» وَقرن بِي أُصْبُعَيْهِ. رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ
Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever, for the sake of Allah’s pleasure, passes his hand over the head of an orphan, then for every hair that his hand passes over, he will receive a good deed. And whoever treats well any orphan boy or girl under his care, he and I will be like this in Paradise." And he joined his two fingers together. (Narrated by Ahmad, Tirmidhi, and he said: This hadith is gharib. Its chain is weak. Also narrated by Ahmad and Tirmidhi.)
