Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said:“I and the sponsor of an orphan will be in Paradise like this,”and he (peace be upon him) gestured with his index finger and middle finger.

Abu Bakr bin Hafs narrates that Abdullah would not eat at his dining mat without having an orphan with him.

It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Abzi, he says, Dawood says, "Be to the orphan like a compassionate father, and also know that as you sow, so shall you reap. How bad it is to become needy after being wealthy, and even worse or more severe than this is that a person goes astray after receiving guidance. When you make a promise to your companion, fulfill whatever promise you make; if you do not do so, enmity will be created between you and him. And seek Allah's refuge from such a companion who does not help you when you remember, and does not remind you when you forget."

It is narrated from Asma bin Ubaid: I said to Ibn Sirin, "I have an orphan with me." He said, "Treat him as you would treat your own real son, and for disciplining him, strike him with that which you would use to strike your own son."

Shumaisa ‘Atkiyyah says: The topic of disciplining an orphan was mentioned in the presence of Sayyidah ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), so she said: I beat the orphan so much that he lies down on the ground.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The Fire of Hell will not touch any Muslim whose three children have died, except to fulfill an oath." (Which is in this verse: «وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا كَانَ عَلَى رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَقْضِيًّا» ).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with a child and said, "Pray for him (that he may live); I have already buried three children." So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "You have built a very strong fence to protect yourself from Hell."

Khalid Absi says, I had a son who passed away. I was greatly grieved by his loss, so I said to Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): What have you heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by which we can comfort our hearts over the sorrow of our deceased? He said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Your little children are the «دعاميص» of Paradise." Explanation of da‘amis: Ibn Kathir says: «دعاميص» is originally the plural of «دعموص» . It is said about an insect that is found in stagnant water. Similarly, «‏‏‏‏دعموص» is also said for anyone who enters any place, meaning these children will roam freely in Paradise, will enter homes, and will not be forbidden from going anywhere.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say, "Whoever has three children die and he remains patient, hoping for reward, he will enter Paradise." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! And if two children (die)?" He said, "And two children as well." I said to Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): I think if you people had said one child, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would have said one child as well. Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah, I think the same."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he states that a woman came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! We cannot attend your gatherings, so please appoint a separate day for us so that we may come to you on that day. He said: "Your appointed time is at the house of so-and-so." So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went to those women and gave them some advice, among which was this: "Whoever among you has three children die and she remains patient, she will enter Paradise." A woman asked: And two children? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "And two children as well." In this narration is Suhail, who was strict in hadith and used to memorize, and no one had the courage to write in his presence.
