حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الْخَفَّافُ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللّ
َهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ لِي مَالٌ وَلِي يَتِيمٌ فَقَالَ كُلْ مِنْ مَالِ يَتِيمِكَ غَيْرَ مُسْرِفٍ أَوْ قَالَ وَلَا تَفْدِي مَالَكَ بِمَالِهِ شَكَّ حُسَيْنٌ

It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (رضي الله عنهما) — via Waki', from Sufyan, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj, from Abu Hurayra — that the Prophet ﷺ was asked about the guardian of an orphan: 'May he eat from his wealth?' He said: 'Whoever guardians an orphan who has wealth — let him eat from it without extravagance and without self-enrichment. And do not protect your wealth with his wealth.'
