Muhammad -saww was not so devoted to Ali -asws regarding the Wilayah in Ghadeer Khumm among others more intensely than his -saww emphasising during this day of ours’. قَالَ خَبَّابُ بْنُ الْأَرَتِّ كَانَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَبْلَ وَفَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ص بِتِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً Khabbab Bin Al-Art said, ‘This Hadeeth was before the expiry of the Prophet -saww by nineteen days’’.
[10] Honouring the orphans وَ قَالَ الْإِمَامُ ع رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: حَثَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى بِرِّ الْيَتَامَى- لِانْقِطَاعِهِمْ عَنْ آبَائِهِمْ And the Imam -asws (Hassan Al-Askari -asws ) said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Urges upon the righteousness with the orphans – the ones cut off from their fathers.
فَمَنْ صَانَهُمْ صَانَهُ اللَّهُ، وَ مَنْ أَكْرَمَهُمْ أَكْرَمَهُ اللَّهُ، وَ مَنْ مَسَحَ يَدَهُ بِرَأْسِ يَتِيمٍ رِفْقاً بِهِ- جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ مَرَّتْ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ قَصْراً- أَوْسَعَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَا فِيهَا وَ فِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِي الْأَنْفُسُ وَ تَلَذُّ الْأَعْيُنُ، وَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ So the one who protects them, Allah -azwj will Protect him, and the one who honours them, Allah -azwj will Honour him, and the one who wipes his hand upon the head of an orphan being kind with him, Allah -azwj would Make for him a castle in the Paradise, for every hair which passed under his hand, being more capacious than the world with whatever is in it, and therein would be whatever the soul desires and the pleases the eye, and they would be in it eternally.
[11] في مجمع البيان ” لا تكرمون اليتيم ” وهو الطفل الذى لا أب له، أي لا تعطونهم مما أعطاهم الله حتى تغنوهم عن ذل السؤال وخص اليتيم لانه لا كافل لهم يقوم بأمرهم In Majma Al-Bayaan – Never!
But you are not honouring the orphan [89:17] , and he is the child who has no father for him, i.e., you are not giving to them from what Allah -azwj has Given to the extent that you make them needless of having to ask, and especially for the orphan because there is no one to stand and take responsibility for them in their affairs’.
وقد قال: انا وكافل اليتيم كهاتين، وأشار بالسبابة والوسطى And he -asws has said: ‘I -asws and the one who takes care of an orphan are like these two’ – and he -asws gestured by his -asws index and middle finger’.
