Hadith 22820

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَا وَكَافِلُ الْيَتِيمِ كَهَاتَيْنِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " , وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى ، وَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا قَلِيلًا.
It is narrated from Hazrat Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I and the one who takes care of an orphan will be in Paradise like these two fingers." Saying this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated with his index and middle fingers, leaving a slight gap between them.
