سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ أَكْلِ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ فَقَالَ هُوَ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوالَ الْيَتامى ظُلْماً إِنَّما يَأْكُلُونَ فِي بُطُونِهِمْ ناراً وَ سَيَصْلَوْنَ سَعِيراً ثُمَّ قَالَ ( عليه السلام ) مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ مَنْ عَالَ يَتِيماً حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ يُتْمُهُ أَوْ يَسْتَغْنِيَ بِنَفْسِهِ أَوْجَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ الْجَنَّةَ كَمَا أَوْجَبَ النَّارَ لِمَنْ أَكَلَ مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Ajlan Abu Salih who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about devouring the wealth of the orphans, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is as Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has Said that <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h10"><a href="/books/quran:4#h10">[4:10]</a></a> (As for) those who swallow the property of the orphans unjustly, but rather they only swallow fire into their bellies and they shall arriving at the Blazing Fire</span>’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said without I having asked him<sup>asws</sup>: ‘The one who shelters an orphan until his orphan-hood is cut off, or he becomes self-sufficient, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic would Obligate the Paradise for him just as He<sup>azwj</sup> Obligated the Fire for the one who devours the wealth of the orphans’.
