1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “If a believing man or woman strokes the head of an orphan with mercy, Allah will grant him/her a light for each hair of the head of that orphan.”
أَبِی ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ سَلَمَهَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنْ غِیَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ
قَالَ عَلِیُّ بْنُ أَبِی طَالِبٍ ع وَ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ لَا مُؤْمِنَهٍ یَضَعُ یَدَهُ عَلَی رَأْسِ یَتِیمٍ تَرَحُّماً لَهُ إِلَّا کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِکُلِّ شَعْرَهٍ مَرَّتْ یَدُهُ عَلَیْهَا حَسَنَهً.
