Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 18306 — The verse: "Concerning orphan women
١٨٣٠٦ - حدثنا عبيد اللَّه عن إسرائيل عن السدي عن أبي مالك في (قول اللَّه) (١): ﴿وَمَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ فِي يَتَامَى النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي لَا تُؤْتُونَهُنَّ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُنَّ وَتَرْغَبُونَ أَنْ تَنْكِحُوهُنَّ﴾، فقال: كانت المرأة إذا كانت عند ولي رغب عن حسبها (أو) (٢) حسنها -شك أبو بكر- (لم يتزوجها) (٣) ولم يترك أحدًا يتزوجها ﴿وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْوِلْدَانِ وَأَنْ تَقُومُوا لِلْيَتَامَى بِالْقِسْطِ﴾، قال: كانوا لا (يورثون) (٤) إلا الأكبر فالأكبر.
Abu Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said in the commentary on the verse of the Qur'an "concerning the orphan girls to whom you do not give what is prescribed for them, and whom you are disinclined to marry": When a woman was in the care of a guardian, he, turning away from her lineage or her beauty (Abu Bakr was unsure which), would neither marry her himself nor let her marry anyone else. And concerning this verse of the Qur'an, "and the oppressed among the children, and that you stand firm for the orphans with justice", he said: People used to give inheritance only to the eldest, and then the next eldest.
