وَءَاتُواْ ٱلۡيَتَٰمَىٰٓ أَمۡوَٰلَهُمۡۖ وَلَا تَتَبَدَّلُواْ ٱلۡخَبِيثَ بِٱلطَّيِّبِۖ وَلَا تَأۡكُلُوٓاْ أَمۡوَٰلَهُمۡ إِلَىٰٓ أَمۡوَٰلِكُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حُوبٗا كَبِيرٗا
2And give the orphans their property and don’t exchange (your) bad items with (their) good items. And don’t eat up their wealth (by mixing) with your wealth. Indeed, this is a great sin.
2The reason for descending the verse
Muqatil and Al-Kalbi said, “This was revealed about a man from Ghatafan who had in his possession an abundant fortune which belonged to his orphaned nephew. When this orphan reached the age of puberty, he claimed this fortune but his uncle refused to give it to him. As a result, they took their dispute to the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) and then this verse was revealed. When the uncle heard this verse, he said, ‘We obey Allah and we obey His Messenger; we seek refuge in Allah from the great peril’, and he handed the wealth over to his nephew.”(Al-Wahidi,Reasons of Revelation)
