\nNarrated 'Urwa:\n \n\nthat he asked `Aisha regarding the Verse: 'If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the \norphans (4.3) She said, "O my nephew! This Verse refers to the orphan girl who is under the \nguardianship of her guardian who likes her beauty and wealth and wishes to (marry her and) curtails \nher Mahr. Such guardians have been forbidden to marry them unless they do justice by giving them \ntheir full Mahr, and they have been ordered to marry other than them. The people asked for the verdict \nof Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) after that, so Allah revealed: 'They ask your instruction concerning the women . . . \nwhom you desire to marry.' (4.127) So Allah revealed to them that if the orphan girl had beauty and \nwealth, they desired to marry her and for her family status. They can only marry them if they give \nthem their full Mahr. And if they had no desire to marry them because of their lack of wealth and \nbeauty, they would leave them and marry other women. So, as they used to leave them, when they had \nno interest, in them, they were forbidden to marry them when they had such interest, unless they \ntreated them justly and gave them their full Mahr Apostle said, 'If at all there is evil omen, it is in the \nhorse, the woman and the house." a lady is to be warded off. And the Statement of Allah: 'Truly, \namong your wives and your children, there are enemies for you (i.e may stop you from the obedience \nof Allah)' (64.14)\n

\nحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ ‏{‏وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ لاَ تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَى‏}‏ قَالَتْ يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي هَذِهِ الْيَتِيمَةُ تَكُونُ فِي حَجْرِ وَلِيِّهَا فَيَرْغَبُ فِي جَمَالِهَا وَمَالِهَا، وَيُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْتَقِصَ صَدَاقَهَا، فَنُهُوا عَنْ نِكَاحِهِنَّ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُقْسِطُوا فِي إِكْمَالِ الصَّدَاقِ، وَأُمِرُوا بِنِكَاحِ مَنْ سِوَاهُنَّ، قَالَتْ وَاسْتَفْتَى النَّاسُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏{‏وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِي النِّسَاءِ‏}‏ إِلَى ‏{‏وَتَرْغَبُونَ أَنْ تَنْكِحُوهُنَّ‏}‏ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ أَنَّ الْيَتِيمَةَ إِذَا كَانَتْ ذَاتَ جَمَالٍ وَمَالٍ رَغِبُوا فِي نِكَاحِهَا وَنَسَبِهَا فِي إِكْمَالِ الصَّدَاقِ، وَإِذَا كَانَتْ مَرْغُوبَةً عَنْهَا فِي قِلَّةِ الْمَالِ وَالْجَمَالِ تَرَكُوهَا وَأَخَذُوا غَيْرَهَا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ، قَالَتْ فَكَمَا يَتْرُكُونَهَا حِينَ يَرْغَبُونَ عَنْهَا فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَنْكِحُوهَا إِذَا رَغِبُوا فِيهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يُقْسِطُوا لَهَا وَيُعْطُوهَا حَقَّهَا الأَوْفَى فِي الصَّدَاقِ‏.‏
