Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيّ
ِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ مَسَحَ رَأْسَ يَتِيمٍ أَوْ يَتِيمَةٍ لَمْ يَمْسَحْهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ مَرَّتْ عَلَيْهَا يَدُهُ حَسَنَاتٌ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَى يَتِيمَةٍ أَوْ يَتِيمٍ عِنْدَهُ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ كَهَاتَيْنِ وَقَرَنَ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever strokes the head of an orphan boy or girl, doing so only for the sake of Allah, will have for every hair that his hand passes over good deeds. And whoever treats well an orphan girl or boy in his care, I and he will be in Paradise like these two' — and he joined his two fingers together.
