Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَلاَّمُ بْنُ أَبِي مُطِيعٍ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِابْنِ سِيرِينَ: عِنْدِي يَتِيمٌ، قَالَ: اصْنَعْ بِهِ مَا تَصْنَعُ بِوَلَدِكَ، اضْرِبْهُ مَا تَضْرِبُ وَلَدَكَ.

Musa related to us: Sallam ibn Abi Muti' related to us, from Asma' ibn 'Ubayd, who said: I said to Ibn Sirin, ‘I have an orphan in my care.’ He said: ‘Treat him as you would your own child; discipline him as you would discipline your own child.’
