Musnad Abi Ya'la 2457 — the Prophet ﷺ said: Whoever takes an orphan
حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: «مَنْ قَبَضَ يَتِيمًا بَيْنَ مُسْلِمَيْنَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ وَشَرَابِهِ حَتَّى يُغْنِيَهُ اللَّهُ أَوْجَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ الْجَنَّةَ الْبَتَّةَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَعْمَلَ ذَنْبًا لَا يُغْفَرُ. وَمَنْ عَالَ ثَلَاثَ بَنَاتٍ فَأَنْفَقَ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ». فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَقَالَ: أَوِ اثْنَتَيْنِ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ». حَتَّى لَوْ قَالَ وَاحِدَةً. لَقَالَ: نَعَمْ. «وَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ كَرِيمَتَيْهِ إِلَّا كَانَ ثَوَابُهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ». قَالَ: وَمَا كَرِيمَتَاهُ؟ قَالَ: عَيْنَاهُ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِذَا حَدَّثَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ ذَا مِنْ كَرَائِمِ الْحَدِيثِ وَغُرَرِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever takes an orphan of the Muslims to share his food and drink (that is, provides for him completely) until Allah Almighty makes him independent and self-sufficient, Allah Almighty has made Paradise definitely obligatory for him, provided that he does not commit a sin that is unforgivable. And whoever brings up three daughters, spends (his wealth) on them and treats them well, Paradise has also become obligatory for him." Upon this a Bedouin stood up and said: "(O Messenger of Allah,) is there the same reward for bringing up two daughters?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes! (The same reward for two as well.)" (The narrator said:) Even if he had asked about one daughter, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would surely have said "Yes." (He further said:) "And any servant whose two precious ones (karimatayhi) Allah Almighty takes away, his reward with Allah is nothing less than Paradise." It was asked: "What is meant by his two precious ones?" The answer was: "It means his two eyes." Whenever Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated this hadith, he would say (in view of its importance): "By Allah, this is among the finest, choicest and most brilliant of hadiths."
