Hadith About Orphans
أَنَا وَكَافِلُ الْيَتِيمِ، فِي الْجَنَّةِ هَكَذَا . وَقَالَ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this," putting his index and middle fingers together.

According to Islamic teachings, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “He who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together to illustrate the point. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also said: “I and the one who brings up an orphan will be like these two in Paradise,” and he held up his index and middle fingers. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also said: “One who cares for an orphan will be with me like these two in Paradise,” and he held up his index and middle fingers. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also said: “Whoever looks after an orphan will be rewarded with Paradise.” The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also said: “Whoever takes care of an orphan, it is as if he has taken care of me.” These hadiths emphasize the importance of looking after orphans in Islam. They remind us that taking care of an orphan is a great deed and one that will be rewarded by Allah. They also remind us that looking after an orphan is a great responsibility and should not be taken lightly. In Islam, it is our duty to take care of the less fortunate, and this includes orphans.
