Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith 97 – Volume 6, Book 60

English

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 97:
Narrated Aisha:
There was an orphan (girl) under the care of a man. He married her and she owned a date palm
(garden). He married her just because of that and not because he loved her. So the Divine Verse came
regarding his case: "If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls…" (4.3)
The sub-narrator added: I think he (i.e. another sub-narrator) said, "That orphan girl was his partner
in that datepalm (garden) and in his property."
