[Machine] "When this verse was revealed, 'And do not approach the orphan's property except in the way that is best' [Surah Al-An'am 152], they isolated the wealth of the orphans to the extent that the food would spoil and the meat would rot. When this matter was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ, the verse was revealed, 'And if you mix your affairs with theirs, then they are your brothers. And Allah knows the corrupt from the amender' [Surah Al-Baqarah 220]. So they mixed with them."  

أحمد:٣٠٠٠حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {وَلا تَقْرَبُوا مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ إِلا بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ} [الأنعام 152] عَزَلُوا أَمْوَالَ الْيَتَامَى حَتَّى جَعَلَ الطَّعَامُ يَفْسُدُ وَاللَّحْمُ يُنْتِنُ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَإِنْ تُخَالِطُوهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ الْمُفْسِدَ مِنَ المُصْلِحِ} [البقرة 220] قَالَ فَخَالَطُوهُمْ

[Machine] "When the verse 'And do not approach the property of the orphan, except in the way that is best' [Quran 6:152] was revealed, they separated their wealth from the wealth of the orphans. As a result, the food went bad and the meat became rotten. They complained about this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so Allah, the Exalted, revealed, 'Say, 'For them is reform, and if you associate with them, they are your brothers'" [Quran 2:220]. He said, 'So they associated with them.'"
