Muhammad the orphan

The virtue of hosting an orphan

From Sahl bin Sa'ad radhiallahu ‘anhu he said:

The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said,

«أَنَا وَكَافِلُ الْيَتِيمِ فِى الْجَنَّةِ هكَذَا» وأشار بالسبابة والوسطى وفرج بينهما شيئاً

"I and the person who bears the orphans

(position) in heaven like this ",

hinting at his index finger and middle finger

sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam,
