Volume 4, Book 51, Number 27:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The following Verse:–
"If a guardian is well-off, let him claim no remuneration (i.e. wages), but if he is poor, let him have
for himself what is just and reasonable." (4.6)
was revealed in connection with the guardian of an orphan, and it means that if he is poor he can
have for himself (from the orphan's wealth) what is just and reasonable according to the orphan's
share of the inheritance.
