33. Chapter: Kindness to orphans, girls, the weak, the very poor, and the downtrodden. Treating them well, compassion towards them, humility with them, and gentleness towards them Allah Almighty says, "And take the believers under your wing," (15:88) and the Almighty says, "Restrain yourself patiently with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, desiring His Face. Do not turn your eyes from them." (18:28) The Almighty says, "So as for the orphans, do not oppress them, and as for beggars, do not berate them," (93:9-10) and the Almighty says, "Have you seen him who denies the deen? He is the one who harshly rebuffs the orphan and does not urge the feeding of the poor." (107:1-3) 263. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "I and an orphan's guardian, whether he is a relative or a non-relative, will be like these two in Jannah," and the transmitter, Malik ibn Anas, indicated the index and middle fingers. [Muslim] In a variant in the two Sahih collections, "The very poor man is not the one who goes around to people to ask for a bite or two to eat or a date or two, but the one who does not have enough for himself but is too shy to ask so that he is given sadaqa - or does not beg from people importunately." 265. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, (PBUH), said, "'Someone who strives on behalf of widows and the poor is like someone who fights in the way of Allah.' I think that he also said, 'And like someone who continually stands at night in prayer and like someone who continually fasts.'" [Agreed upon]
