Hadith.572 - The Messenger of Allah (sw) said: "Whoever finds hardness in their heart should bring an orphan close, show kindness to them, and pass their hand over their head; this will soften their heart, by the permission of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic. Indeed, the orphan has a right." It is also reported that He said: "He should seat the orphan at his table and pass his hand over their head, and this will soften his heart."
