Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the verse "And do not approach the wealth of the orphan except in the way that is best" [Surah al-An'am: 152] was revealed, the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) separated their wealth from the wealth of the orphans. As a result, food began to spoil and meat began to go bad. They informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) of this, and Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Say: Improving their condition is best, and if you mix your affairs with theirs, they are your brothers" [Surah al-Baqarah: 220]. He said: Then the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) mixed the orphans in with themselves.
