Tafsir al-Baghawi                                                        تفسیر البغوی                            

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: خَيْرُ بَيْتٍ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَيْتٌ فِيهِ يَتِيمٌ يُحْسَنُ إِلَيْهِ، وَشَرُّ بَيْتٍ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَيْتٌ فِيهِ يَتِيمٌ يُسَاءُ إِلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ بِأُصْبُعَيْهِ: أَنَا وَكَافِلُ الْيَتِيمِ [فِي الْجَنَّةِ]

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah – may Allah be pleased with him – reported that the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – has stated:  The best of houses among the Muslims is the one in which there is an orphan and he is treated well there and the worst of houses among the Muslims is the one where there is an orphan and he is ill-treated there.  He then said pointing with his two fingers (joined together), “I and the caretaker of an orphan are in paradise.”

The Hadeeth is narrated that it was revealed at the time when the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – had shouted the child of Sayyidah Khadeejah – may Allah be pleased with her.

عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ: «إِذَا بَكَى الْيَتِيمُ وَقَعَتْ دُمُوعُهُ فِي كَفِّ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَيَقُولُ تَعَالَى: مَنْ أَبْكَى هَذَا الْيَتِيمَ الَّذِي وَارَيْتُ وَالِدَهُ التراب، من أسكته فله الجنة» .

Sayyiduna Anas – may Allah be pleased with him – reported that the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – has stated:  When an orphan cries, his tears fall onto the palm of the Most Compassionate (Allah Almighty) and He says, “Who has made this orphan cry whose father I have buried in the sand?  One who provides for him there is Paradise for him.”
