Benevolent Treatment towards Orphans, Girls, the Weak, the Poor and the Humble Persons

Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Six of us were with the Prophet ﷺ when the infidels said to him: "Drive these ones away, lest they should begin to venture against us". The six were, myself, Ibn Mas'ud, a man of the Hudhail tribe, Bilal and two other men whose names I don't know. Messenger of Allah ﷺ thought what Allah wished him to think, and Allah revealed: "And turn not away those who invoke their Rubb, morning and afternoon seeking His Face." (6:52)

[Muslim].

وعن سعد بن أبي وقاص رضي الله عنه قال: كنا مع النبي ﷺ ستة نفر، فقال المشركون للنبي ﷺ: اطرد هؤلاء لايجترئون علينا، وكنت أنا وابن مسعود ورجلان لست أسميهما، فوقع في نفس رسول الله ﷺ ما شاء الله أن يقع، فحدث نفسه، فأنزل الله تعالى: {ولا تطرد الذين يدعون ربهم بالغداة والعشي يريدون وجهه} ((الأنعام: 52: رواه مسلم)).

'Aidh bin 'Amr Al-Muzani (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Abu Sufyan passed by Salman, Suhaib and Bilal and some other Companions (May Allah be pleased with them). They said to him: "Did not the swords of Allah exact their due from the foes of Allah?" Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) said to them: "Do you speak like this to the chief of the Quraish and their master?" Then he went to the Prophet ﷺ and related this to him. He ﷺ said, "Abu Bakr, perhaps you have angered them. If so, you have angered your Rubb". Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) went back to them and said: "Brothers, did I offend you?" They replied: "No. May Allah forgive you, brother".

[Muslim].

وعن أبي هبيرة عائذ بن عمرو المزني وهو من أهل بيعة الرضوان رضي الله عنه، أن أبا سفيان أتى على سلمان وصهيب وبلال في نفر فقالوا: ما أخذت سيوف الله من عدو الله مأخذها، فقال أبو بكر رضي الله عنه: أتقولون هذا لشيخ قريش وسيدهم؟ فأتى النبي ﷺ، فأخبره فقال: "يا أبا بكر لعلك أغضبتهم؟ لئن كنت أغضبتهم لقد أغضبت ربك" فأتاهم فقال: ياإخوتاه أغضبتكم؟ قالوا: لا، يغفر الله لك يا أخي. ((رواه مسلم)).

Sahl bin Sa'd (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I will be like this in Jannah with the person who takes care of an orphan". Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his forefinger and middle finger by way of illustration.

[Al-Bukhari].

وعن سهل بن سعيد رضي الله عنه: قال رسول ﷺ: " أنا وكافل اليتيم في الجنة هكذا" وأشار بالسبابة والوسطى، وفرج بينهما. ((رواه البخاري)).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He who takes care of an orphan, whether he is his relative or a stranger, will be in Jannah with me like these two". The narrator, Malik bin Anas raised his forefinger and middle finger for illustration.

[Muslim].

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: " كافل اليتيم له أو لغيره أنا وهو كهاتين في الجنة" وأشار الراوي وهو مالك ابن أنس بالسبابة والوسطى. ((رواه مسلم)).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A Miskin (needy) is not the one who can be turned away with a date-fruit or two, or a morsel or two. The true Miskin is one who, despite his poverty, abstains from begging".

[Al- Bukhari and Muslim].

In another narration Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, " A Miskin is not the one who goes round begging from people and who can be turned away with a morsel or two, or a date-fruit or two. A true Miskin is he who does not find enough to suffice him, does not disclose his poverty so that he might be given alms, and does not stand up to beg".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعنه قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: " ليس المسكين الذي ترده التمرة والتمرتان، ولا اللقمة واللقمتان إنما المسكين الذي يتعفف" ((متفق عليه)).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet ﷺ said, "One who strives to help the widows and the poor is like the one who fights in the way of Allah." The narrator said: I think that he ﷺ added also: "I shall regard him as the one who stands up (for prayer) without rest and as the one who observes fasts continuously".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعنه عن النبي ﷺ: " الساعي على الأرملة والمسكين كالمجاهد في سبيل الله" وأحسبه قال: " وكالقائم الذي لا يفتر، وكالصائم الذي لا يفطر" ((متفق عليه)).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet ﷺ said, "The worst food is the food of the marriage banquet from which those are left out who would like to come; and to which those are invited who refuse to come. He who rejects an invitation disobeys Allah and His Messenger".

[Muslim].

In another narration Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The worst food is the food of the marriage banquet to which the rich are invited and from which the poor are left out".

[Muslim].

وعنه عن النبي ﷺ قال: " شر الطعام طعام الوليمة، يمنعها من يأتيها، ويدعى إليها من يأباها، ومن لم يجب الدعوة فقد عصى الله ورسوله" ((متفق عليه)). وفي رواية في " الصحيحين" عن أبي هريرة من قوله: " بئس الطعام طعام الوليمة يدعى إليها الأغنياء ويترك الفقراء".

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever supports two girls till they attain maturity, he and I will come on the Day of Resurrection like this". Messenger of Allah ﷺ joined his fingers illustrating this.

[Muslim].

وعن أنس رضي الله عنه عن النبي ﷺ قال: “من عال جاريتين حتى تبلغا جاء يوم القيامة أنا وهو كهاتين" وضم أصابعه.((رواه مسلم)). (29)

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
A woman came to me with her two daughters. She asked me (for charity) but she found nothing with me except one date-fruit, so I gave it to her. She accepted it and then divided it between her two daughters and herself ate nothing out of that. She then got up and went out. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ came in, and I narrated to him the story, he said, "He who is involved (in the responsibility) of (bringing up) daughters, and he is benevolent towards them, they would become protection for him against Hell-fire".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: "دخلت علي امرأة ومعها ابنتان لها تسأل ، فلم تجد عندي شيئا غير تمرة واحدة، فأعطيتها إياها فقسمتها بين ابنتيها ولم تأكل منها، ثم قامت فخرجت، فدخل النبي ﷺ علينا، فأخبرته فقال: "من ابتلي من هذه البنات بشيء فأحسن إليهن كن له سترًا من النار" ((متفق عليه)).

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
A poor woman came to me carrying her two daughters. I gave her three date-fruits. She gave a date to each of them and then she took up one date-fruit and brought that to her mouth to eat, but her daughters asked her that also. She then divided between them the date-fruit that she intended to eat. This (kind) treatment of her impressed me and I mentioned that to Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, 'Verily, Allah has assured Jannah for her, because of (this act) of her," or said, "He (Subhanahu-wa-Taala) has rescued her from Hell- Fire".

[Muslim].

وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: جاءتني مسكينة تحمل ابنتين لها، فأطعمتها ثلاث تمرات، فأعطت كل واحدة منهما تمرة ورفعت إلى فيها تمرة لتأكلها ، فاستطعمتها ابنتاها، فشقت التمرة التي كانت تريد أن تأكلها بينهما، فأعجبني شأنها، فذكرت الذي صنعت لرسول الله ﷺ فقال: "إن الله قد أوجب لها بها الجنة، أو أعتقها بها من النار" ((رواه مسلم)).

Sa'd considered himself better than his inferiors, so the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "You are given help and provision because of your weak ones".

وعن مصعب بن سعد بن أبي وقاص رضي الله عنهما قال: رأى سعد أن له فضلا على من دونه، فقال النبي ﷺ: "هل تنصرون وترزقون إلا بضعفائكم" ((رواه البخاري)) هكذا مرسلا، فإن مصعب بن سعد تابعي، ((ورواه الحافظ أبو بكر البرقاني في صحيحه متصلا عن مصعب عن أبيه رضي الله عنه)).
