Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

UPBRINGING OF AN ORPHAN

Hadrat Alif bin Malik al-Ashjai (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that ALLAAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “I and a women whose cheeks have become black (because of the distress she has endured) shall on the day of resurrection be like these two (Yazid bin Zurai’ pointing to the middle and forefinger),i.e. a women of rank and beauty who has been bereft of her husband and devotes herself to her fatherless children till they go their separate ways or die.” [Abu Dawud]
