ذِكْرُ اسْتِحْبَابِ بِرِّ الْمَرْءِ خَالَتَهُ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَالِدَانِ

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have been afflicted by a tremendous sin. Is there any repentance for me?" He said: "Do you have your mother?" The man said: "No." He said: "Do you have any maternal aunts?" The man said: "Yes." He said: "Then be dutiful to them."  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ ذَنْبًا عَظِيمًا فَهَلْ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ قَالَ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ أُمٍّ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ خَالَةٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَبِرَّهَا وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَالْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and a man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a major sin. Is there repentance for me?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Do you have parents?" He replied, "No." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Do you have an aunt?" He replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Then be good to her."  

أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَاللهِ إِنِّي أَذْنَبْتُ ذَنْبًا كَبِيرًا فَهَلْ لِي تَوْبَةٌ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَكَ وَالِدَانِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَكَ خَالَةٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَبِرَّهَا إِذًا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came and a man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed many sins. Do I have a chance for repentance?" He asked him, "Are your parents alive?" He answered, "No." Then he asked him, "Do you have an aunt?" He replied, "Yes, I do." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then be good to her."  

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَذْنَبْتُ ذَنْبًا كَثِيرًا فَهَلْ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ؟ قَالَ «أَلَكَ وَالِدَانِ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَلَكَ خَالَةٌ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَبَرَّهَا إِذًا»
