Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Treat not the orphan with harshness" (Qur'an 93:9)

"They ask you, (O Muhammad), what they shall spend. Say: that which you spend for good (must go) to parents and near kindred and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer. And whatsoever good you do, lo! Allah is Aware of it." (Qur'an 2:215)

"Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?" (Qur'an 93:6)

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd(Radi Allah Anhu) : The Prophet(SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam)  said, "I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this," putting his index and middle fingers together. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 8 Hadith No. 34)

The Prophet Muhammad(SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam)  said: "If anyone strokes an orphan's head, doing so only for God's sake, he will have blessings for every hair over which his hand passes. And if anyone treats well an orphan girl or boy under his care, he and I shall be like these two in Paradise." The Prophet put two of his fingers together when he made that statement.

Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1282

The Prophet(SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam)  also said: "The best house among the Muslims is one which contains an orphan who is well treated."

Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1281
