God's Prophet (a.s) said: “Whenever an orphan cries on Earth, God the Almighty says: Who has made this servant of mine who has lost his parents on the Earth cry?” The angels will say: “You are Pure. We do not know anything except for what you have taught us.” God the Almighty says: “I will use you as witnesses that I will please with Heaven whoever pleases this orphan.” Then a man asked the Prophet: “What will please him?” The Prophet (a.s) said: “Caressing his head or feeding him with a date.”
وقال (صلى الله عليه وآله): إذا بكى اليتيم في الأرض قال الله عز وجل: من أبكى عبدي هذا اليتيم الذي غيبت أبويه أو أباه في الأرض؟ فتقول الملائكة: سبحانك لا علم لنا إلا ما علمتنا، فيقول الله عز وجل: اشهد كم ملائكتي أن من أسكته برضاه فأنا ضامن لرضاه من الجنة، قيل: يا رسول الله، وما يرضيه؟ قال: يمسح رأسه أو يطعمه تمرة.
