Allah Ta\u2019ala bears testimony towards this fact in the Holy Qur\u2019an. Allah Ta\u2019ala says, \u201cWe have not sent you except as a mercy for the worlds.\u201d A young Sahaabi, Hazrat Basheer (Radhiyallahu Anhu) narrates the following incident regarding the mercy Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) showed towards orphans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the battle of Uhud, I met Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and asked, \u2018O Rasul of Allah, where is my father?\u2019 Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) informed me that my father had become shaheed during the battle. I then began to cry profusely. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) embraced me, and affectionately placed his mubaarak hand on my head. He then carried me while saying, \u2018Are you not happy that from now onwards I am your father, and Aaisha (Radhiyallahu Anha) is your mother.\u2019\u201d (Majma\u2019uz Zawaaid #13517)<\/p>\n<p>Hazrat Abdullah bin Abi Aufa (Radhiyallahu Anhu) narrates: \u201cOn one occasion, while we were seated around Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), a young boy came and said, \u2018O Rasul of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), may my parents be sacrificed for you, I am an orphan child who has an orphaned sister and a widowed mother. Grant us something to eat from that which you possess and make us happy, and in return may Allah Ta\u2019ala feed you.\u2019 Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said to the boy: \u2018You have presented your request in a beautiful manner. O young child go to my household and enquire from them if they have any food to give you. If they present any food to you, then bring it to me.\u2019 After a few moments, Hazrat Bilaal (Radhiyallahu Anhu) appeared with twenty one dates, and placed them in the Mubaarak palm of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) raised his hands in duaa and began supplicating to Allah Ta\u2019ala to place barakah in the dates. Then Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said to the child, \u2018Take these dates for yourself and for your mother and sister. Take seven dates for yourself and give seven dates each to your mother and sister. Eat one date in the morning and one date in the evening.\u2019 When the boy left the mubaarak gathering of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), Hazrat Mu\u2019aaz bin Jabal (Radhiyallahu Anhu) followed him and affectionately placed his hand on the child\u2019s head while making the following duaa, \u2018May Allah Ta\u2019ala assist you through your difficulty of orphanhood, and may He recompense you for the loss of your father.\u2019 \u00a0Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) witnessed the action of Hazrat Mu\u2019aaz (Radhiyallahu Anhu) and addressed him saying, \u2018O Mu\u2019aaz, I saw you place your hand on the head of the child.\u2019 Hazrat Mu\u2019aaz (Radhiyallahu Anhu) said: \u2018O Rasul of Allah, I did so out of compassion for him as I pitied his condition.\u2019 Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) then said: \u201cI swear by the oath of that Being in whose control is my life, the person who takes care of the orphan, shows compassion to him and affectionately places his hand on his head, Allah Ta\u2019ala will forgive his sins and bless him with reward equivalent to the hair on the head of the orphan child which his hand had touched.\u2019\u201d (Shu\u2019abul Imaan #10530)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0639\u0646 \u0623\u0628\u064a \u0647\u0631\u064a\u0631\u0629 \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 \u0639\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0628\u064a \u00a0\u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645 \u0642\u0627\u0644 \u062e\u064a\u0631 \u0628\u064a\u062a \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u0644\u0645\u064a\u0646 \u0628\u064a\u062a \u0641\u064a\u0647 \u064a\u062a\u064a\u0645 \u064a\u062d\u0633\u0646 \u0625\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0634\u0631 \u0628\u064a\u062a \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u0644\u0645\u064a\u0646 \u0628\u064a\u062a \u0641\u064a\u0647 \u064a\u062a\u064a\u0645 \u064a\u0633\u0627\u0621 \u0625\u0644\u064a\u0647 (\u0633\u0646\u0646 \u0627\u0628\u0646 \u0645\u0627\u062c\u0647 \u0631\u0642\u0645 3679) Hazrat Abu Hurayrah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasululah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: \u201cThe best home of the believers is &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":11786,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[395],"tags":[683,684,397],"class_list":["post-12011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-shamaail","tag-compassion","tag-orphan","tag-shamaail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12011"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12011\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12015,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12011\/revisions\/12015"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
