Musnad Abi Ya'la 926No grade recorded
" مَنْ ضَمَّ يَتِيمًا بَيْنَ مُسْلِمِينَ فِي طَعَامِهِ وَشَرَابِهِ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنِيَ عَنْهُ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ الْبَتَّةَ، وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ وَالِدَيْهِ أَوْ أَحَدَهُمَا، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَبَرَّهُمَا، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ النَّارَ، فَأَبْعَدَهُ اللهُ، وَأَيُّمَا مُسْلِمٍ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً مُسْلِمَةً كَانَتْ فِكَاكَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ
✧ Whoever takes in an orphan among Muslims, sharing his food and drink until he becomes self-sufficient, Paradise is definitely guaranteed for him. And whoever finds his parents or one of them alive, then does not treat them kindly, and then enters the Fire, may Allah distance him. And any Muslim who frees a Muslim slave, it will be his ransom from the Fire.
