Narrated ‘Ursa:
that he asked ‘Aisha regarding the Verse: ‘If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with
the orphans (4.3) She said, “O my nephew! This Verse refers to the orphan girl who is under the
guardianship of her guardian who likes her beauty and wealth and wishes to (marry her and) cur –
tails her Mahr. Such guardians have been forbidden to marry them unless they do justice by giving
them their full Mahr, and they have been ordered to marry other than them. The people asked for
the verdict of Allah’s Apostle after that, so Allah revealed: ‘They ask your instruction concerning the
women . . . whom you desire to marry.’ (4.127) So Allah revealed to them that if the orphan girl had
beauty and wealth, they desired to marry her and for her family status. They can only marry them if
they give them their full Mahr. And if they had no desire to marry them because of their lack of
wealth and beauty, they would leave them and marry other women. So, as they used to leave them,
when they had no interest, in them, they were forbidden to marry them when they had such interest,
unless they treated them justly and gave them their full Mahr Apostle said, ‘If at all there is evil
omen, it is in the horse, the woman and the house.” a lady is to be warded off. And the Statement of
Allah: ‘Truly, among your wives and your children, there are enemies for you (i.e may stop you from
the obedience of Allah)’ (64.14)

rider was the Prophet himself. He said, ‘What makes you in such a hurry?” I replied, I am newly
married ” He said, “Did you marry a virgin or a matron? I replied, “A matron.” He said, “Why didn’t
you marry a young girl so that you may play with her and she with you?” When we were about to
