حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبْزَى قَالَ

قَالَ دَاوُدُ كُنَّ لِلْيَتِيمِ كَالأَبِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ كَمَا تَزْرَعُ كَذَلِكَ تَحْصُدُ مَا أَقْبَحَ الْفَقْرَ بَعْدَ الْغِنَى وَأَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أَقْبَحُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الضَّلاَلَةُ بَعْدَ الْهُدَى وَإِذَا وَعَدْتَ صَاحِبَكَ فَأَنْجِزْ لَهُ مَا وَعَدْتَهُ فَإِنْ لاَ تَفْعَلْ يُورِثُ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ وَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ صَاحِبٍ إِنْ ذَكَرْتَ لَمْ يُعِنْكَ وَإِنْ نَسِيتَ لَمْ يُذَكِّرْكَ

Chain of narrators
  1. Dawud said, "Be like a merciful father towards the orphan. Know that you will reap as you sow. How ugly poverty is after wealth! More than that:

✧ Dāwūd said, “Be to the orphan like a merciful father. Know that as you sow, so shall you reap. How ugly is poverty after wealth, and more than that—or uglier than that—is misguidance after guidance. If you make a promise to your companion, fulfill what you promised him, for if you do not, it will breed enmity between you and him. And seek refuge in Allah from a companion who, if you mention Allah, does not help you, and if you forget, does not remind you.”
