حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: أَنَا وَكَافِلُ الْيَتِيمِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ هَكَذَا، وَقَالَ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى.
Sahl ibn Sa'd reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "I and the guardian of the orphan will be in the Garden
like that," indicating his forefinger and middle finger.
Al-Hasan reported that an orphan used to eat with Ibn 'Umar. One day
he called for food and looked for this orphan but could not find him. He
arrived after Ibn 'Umar had finished. Ibn 'Umar called for more food to be
brought to him but they did not have any. So he was brought sawiq and honey.
He said, "Here, have this! By Allah, you have not been cheated!" Al-Hasan
said, "By Allah, Ibn 'Umar was not cheated!"
Umm Sa'id bint Murra al-Fihri related from her father that the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I and the guardian of an
orphan will be in the Garden like these two." (His two fingers)
