(Book 17, Hadith 10) #35639
Caring for Orphans

SUMMARY: A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, took care of her brother's orphaned daughters and did not take zakat from their jewellery.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim from his father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to look after the orphaned daughters of her brother in her house. They had jewellery (which they wore) and she did not take zakat from this jewellery of theirs.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ كَانَتْ تَلِي بَنَاتِ أَخِيهَا يَتَامَى فِي حَجْرِهَا لَهُنَّ الْحَلْىُ فَلاَ تُخْرِجُ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be kind and generous towards orphans; Provide a safe environment for them; Do not take advantage of those who are less fortunate than you; Do not ask for zakat from someone else’s belongings/jewelry/etc..

EXPLANATIONS:
A'isha, the wife of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), was known for her kindness and compassion towards others. This hadith is an example of this as she took care of her brother's orphaned daughters in her house. She also did not take zakat from their jewellery which they were wearing at that time. This shows us how important it is to be kind to orphans and to provide them with a safe environment where they can grow up without any worries or concerns about money or other resources. It also teaches us that we should not take advantage of those who are less fortunate than us by taking away what little they have in order to benefit ourselves financially.
