١١٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ مَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِ يَتِيمٍ لَا يُرِيدُ بِهِ إِلَّا اللَّهَ – Exalté soit-Il – كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ مَرَّتْ عَلَيْهَا يَدُهُ حَسَنَاتٌ، وَمَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَى يَتِيمٍ، أَوْ يَتِيمَةٍ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ كَهَاتَيْنِ» وَضَمَّ بَيْنَ الْوُسْطَى وَالسَّبَّابَةِ "
