[Machine] In His saying "They ask you about orphans. Say, 'Improvement for them is better,'" and this was before the revelation of "Indeed, those who devour the property of orphans unjustly are only consuming into their bellies fire. And they will be burned in a Blaze." The Muslims disliked eating with orphans and felt uncomfortable if they were to mix with them in any way, so they asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. So Allah revealed, "Say, 'Improvement for them is better. And if you mix your affairs with them, then they are your brothers. And Allah knows the corrupter from the amender. And if Allah had willed, He could have put you in difficulty. However, He chose to facilitate for you."' He says, "It is not to restrict you but [to promote] virtue;" and He says, "Whoever is rich, let him be abstinent, and whoever is poor, let him eat [only] in a fair manner." He says, "The poor person may consume the wealth of the orphan to the extent of his needs, according to the standard of his living and his benefit from it, as long as he does not exceed [his needs]."
