Chapter: The ruling of the guardian regarding the orphan
Hadith 6334
عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَا تَوَلَّيَنَّ مَالَ يَتِيمٍ وَلَا تَأَمَّرَنَّ عَلَى اثْنَيْنِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu Dharr! Never accept guardianship over the wealth of an orphan, nor act as a judge between two people.
Hadith 6335
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ لِي مَالٌ وَلِي يَتِيمٌ فَقَالَ كُلْ مِنْ مَالِ يَتِيمِكَ غَيْرَ مُسْرِفٍ وَلَا مُبَذِّرٍ وَلَا مُتَأَثِّلٍ مَالًا وَمِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَقِيَ مَالَكَ أَوْ قَالَ تَفْدِيَ مَالَكَ بِمَالِهِ شَكَّ حُسَيْنٌ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I have no wealth, but there is an orphan under my guardianship, so can I take from his wealth? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You may eat from your orphan’s wealth, but do not be extravagant in it, nor wasteful, nor one who accumulates wealth, nor one who saves your own wealth. Or he said: nor one who saves your own wealth through his wealth.
Hadith 6336
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ عَزَلُوا أَمْوَالَ الْيَتَامَى حَتَّى جَعَلَ الطَّعَامُ يَفْسُدُ وَاللَّحْمُ يُنْتِنُ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَزَلَتْ وَإِنْ تُخَالِطُوهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْمُفْسِدَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِ قَالَ فَخَالَطُوهُمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when this verse was revealed: "Do not go near the wealth of the orphan except in the best manner," people separated the wealth of the orphans from their own wealth. (But due to this, the problem arose that) the orphan's food would spoil and the meat would become foul-smelling, and thus his wealth would be wasted. So when this matter was presented before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), this command was revealed: "If you mix them (the orphans) with yourselves, then they are your brothers, and Allah knows the corrupter from the reformer."
