أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُدَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَلا تَقْرَبُوا مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ إِلا بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ سورة الأنعام آية 152, وَ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَالَ الْيَتَامَى ظُلْمًا سورة النساء آية 10 ، قَالَ : اجْتَنَبَ النَّاسُ مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ وَطَعَامَهُ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَشَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ : وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْيَتَامَى قُلْ إِصْلاحٌ لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ سورة البقرة آية 220 , إِلَى قَوْلِهِ :لأَعْنَتَكُمْ سورة البقرة آية 220 .
´It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:` "When these Verses were revealed - 'And come not near to the orphan's property, except to improve it,' and 'Verily, those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans' - the people avoided the property and food of the orphans. That caused hardship to the Muslims and they complained about that to the Prophet. Then Allah revealed: 'And they ask you concerning orphans. Say: The best thing is to work honestly in their property, and if you mix your affairs with theirs, then they are your brothers. And Allah knows him who means mischief (e.g. to swallow their property) from him who means good (e.g. to save their property). And if Allah had wished, He could have put you into difficulties.'"
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The researcher of the book has declared this narration weak in terms of its chain of transmission, stating that the hadith from al-Mu'jam al-Kabir suffices for this purpose because its chain is hasan (good). From this, it is understood that the aforementioned hadith is also, in the view of the book's researcher, acceptable for practice and as evidence. Furthermore, other researchers have also considered this narration as acceptable evidence on the basis of supporting and corroborating narrations.
