Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who takes care of an orphan, whether his own or someone else's, out of fear of Allah, and I will be in Paradise like this. Along with this, Malik the narrator gestured with his index and middle fingers.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Malik bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever includes an orphan, who has lost both parents, in his own food and drink until that orphan becomes independent, then Paradise is absolutely obligatory for such a person. And whoever frees a Muslim slave, it will be a cause for his freedom from Hell; every limb of that slave will suffice for every limb of the one who freed him from the Fire.

Zararah bin Aufi narrates from a companion of his people named Malik or Ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever Muslim keeps an orphaned child—who has lost both Muslim parents—with him in his food and drink, until Allah Almighty makes that orphan self-sufficient, then Paradise will definitely become obligatory for him. Whoever Muslim frees a Muslim slave, this will become a cause for his freedom from the Fire. And whoever finds both or even one of his parents and still enters Hell, then Allah Almighty will distance him.

Syedna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: O Allah! I declare forbidden and unlawful the rights of two weak ones: the orphan and the woman.

Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates that a man complained to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the hardness of his heart. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Stroke the head of an orphan and feed the poor."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever strokes the head of an orphan only for the sake of Allah Almighty, for every hair over which his hand passes, he will receive a good deed equal to the number of those hairs. And whoever does good to an orphan boy or girl, I and he will be in Paradise like these two fingers. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then indicated with his index and middle fingers.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who strives for the widow and the poor is like the one who fights in the way of Allah, or like the one who stands in prayer at night and fasts during the day.
