Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I and the one who takes care of an orphan will be in Paradise like this (close to each other as these two fingers).” Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his index and middle fingers and made a slight gap between them.
