Is the following Hadith authentic and who narrated it: "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will say to the orphan—if the orphan is destined for Paradise—'Go and look for everyone who fed you a morsel, and look for everyone who gave you a drink of water, and look for everyone who clothed you. Take them by the hand and enter them into Paradise'"?
The aforementioned Hadith was not found in the Sunnah collections. However, there are Hadiths that encourage honoring and caring for orphans, among them the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "I and the guardian of the orphan are in Paradise like this," and his saying: "Indeed, this wealth is verdant and sweet, and excellent is the Muslim who gives from it to the poor and the orphan."
