Abu Huraira reported that Allahs Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: One who looks after the orphan whether he is his relative or not, I and he would be together in Paradise like this, and Malik (explained it) with the gesture by drawing his index finger and middle finger close together. Sahih Muslim hadith 7108, book 42. This hadith shows the virtue and rewards of the guardian of an orphan whereby the Messenger (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) mentioned that he and the guardian of an orphan are in paradise like this (and he gestured with his two fingers). The guardian of an orphan is the one who protects the orphan and spends on him from his wealth. This action is highly praised in Islam and has a great reward, the one who performs it will be close to the messenger (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) in paradise just like the two fingers if they are gestured together. This honour will be given to those who are kind to the orphans. The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) has regarded it the `best house in which an orphan is treated with kindness. He(sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) declared the worst home in which an orphan child is not treated with affection.
