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.”

such person,” after saying, “Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him, O our Lord, all praise is for

my sister! An Orphan girl used to be under the care of a guardian with whom she shared property.
Her guardian, being attracted by her wealth and beauty, would intend to marry her without giving
her a just Mahr, i.e. the same Mahr as any other person might give her (in case he married her). So
such guardians were forbidden to do that unless they did justice to their female wards and gave
them the highest Mahr their peers might get. They were ordered (by Allah, to marry women of their
choice other than those orphan girls.” ‘Aisha added,” The people asked Allah’s Apostle his instructions
after the revelation of this Divine Verse whereupon Allah revealed:
“They ask your instruction regarding women ” (4.127) ‘Aisha further said, “And the Statement of
Allah: “And yet whom you desire to marry.” (4.127) as anyone of you refrains from marrying an
orphan girl (under his guardianship) when she is lacking in property and beauty.” ‘Aisha added, “So
they were forbidden to marry those orphan girls for whose wealth and beauty they had a desire un –
less with justice, and that was because they would refrain from marrying them if they were lacking
in property and beauty.”

Al-Walid and Salama bin Hisham, and ‘Aiyash bin Abu Rabi’a. O Allah! Inflict Your Severe Torture
on Mudar (tribe) and strike them with (famine) years like the years of Joseph.” The Prophet used to
say in a loud voice, and he also used to say in some of his Fajr prayers, “O Allah! Curse so-and-so
and so-and-so.” naming some of the Arab tribes till Allah revealed:–“Not for you (O Muhammad)
(but for Allah) is the decision.” (3.128)

regarding the Statement of Allah: “And whoever amongst the guardian is rich, he should take no
wages, but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable (according to his work).
This Verse was revealed regarding the orphan’s property. If the guardian is poor, he can take from
the property of the orphan, what is just and reasonable according to his work and the time he spends
on managing it.
