[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I and the caretaker of an orphan will be like this in Paradise," and Sufyan gestured with his two fingers. Al-Humaidi said, It was said to Sufyan, "Indeed, Abdur Rahman ibn Mahdi says that Sufyan is more accurate in this hadith than Malik." Sufyan said, "And how would he know if Safwan has reached him?" They said, "No, but he said that Malik narrated it from Safwan, from Ata ibn Yasar, and Sufyan narrated it from Unaisah, from Umm Sa'id ibn Murr, from her father. From where did he get this chain of narration?" Sufyan said, "How good is what he said! If Safwan had said it to us from Ata ibn Yasar, it would have been easier for us than to come with this strong chain of narration."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَنَا وَكَافِلُ الْيَتِيمُ لَهُ أَوْ لِغَيْرِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ كَهَاتَيْنِ وَأَشَارَ سُفْيَانُ بِأُصْبَعَيْهِ قَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قِيلَ لِسُفْيَانَ فَإِنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ يَقُولُ إِنَّ سُفْيَانَ أَصْوَبُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مِنْ مَالِكٍ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَمَا يُدْرِيهِ أَدْرَكَ صَفْوَانَ؟ قَالُوا لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ مَالِكًا قَالَهُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَقَالَهُ سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَعِيدٍ بِنْتِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهَا فَمِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ؟ فَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَا أَحْسَنَ مَا قَالَ لَوْ قَالَ لَنَا صَفْوَانُ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ كَانَ أَهْوَنَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ أَنْ يَجِيءَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ الشَّدِيدِ
