1 Surahs10 Versesركوع 62
4:1
يَـٰٓ أَيُّهَا
O
mankind
Fear
رَبَّكُمُ
your Lord
the One Who
خَلَقَكُم
created you
from
a soul
single
and created
مِنۡهَا
from it
زَوۡجَهَا
its mate
وَبَثَّ
and dispersed
مِنۡهُمَا
from both of them
رِجَالاً
men
many
and women
And fear
Allah
(through) Whom
تَسَا ٓءَلُونَ
you ask
بِهِۦ
[with it]
وَٱ لۡأَرۡحَامَۚ
and the wombs
إِنّ َ
Indeed
Allah
كَانَ
is
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
over you
رَقِيبًا
١Ever-Watchful
O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allāh, through whom1 you ask one another,2 and the wombs.3 Indeed Allāh is ever,4 over you, an Observer.5
4:2
وَءَاتُواۡ
And give
(to) the orphans
أَمۡوٰ
their wealth
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَتَبَدَّلُواۡ
exchange
the bad
بِٱ ل طَّيِّبِۖ
with the good
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَأۡكُلُوٓ اۡ
consume
أَمۡوٰ
their wealth
إِلَىٰٓ
with
أَمۡوٰ
your wealth
إِنّ َهُۥ
Indeed, it
كَانَ
is
حُوبًا
a sin
great
And give to the orphans their properties and do not substitute the defective [of your own] for the good [of theirs]. And do not consume their properties into your own. Indeed, that is ever a great sin.
4:3
وَإِنۡ
And if
خِفۡتُمۡ
you fear
أَلَّا
that not
تُقۡ سِطُواۡ
you will be able to do justice
فِى
with
the orphans
فَٱ نك ِحُواۡ
then marry
مَا
what
طَابَ
seems suitable
لَكُم
to you
from
the women
مَثۡنَىٰ
two
وَثُلَـٰ ثَ
or three
وَرُبَـٰ عَۖ
or four
فَإِنۡ
But if
خِفۡتُمۡ
you fear
أَلَّا
that not
تَعۡدِلُواۡ
you can do justice
فَوٰ
then (marry) one
أَوۡ
or
مَا
what
مَلَكَتۡ
possesses
أَيۡمَـٰ نُكُمۡۚ
your right hand
ذٰ
That
أَدۡ نَىٰٓ
(is) more appropriate
أَلَّا
that (may) not
تَعُولُواۡ
٣you oppress
And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hands possess [i.e., slaves]. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].
4:4
وَءَاتُواۡ
And give
the women
صَدُقَـٰ تِهِنّ َ
their dower
نِحۡلَةًۚ
graciously
But if
they remit
لَكُمۡ
to you
عَن
of
anything
of it
نَفۡسًا
(on their) own
then eat it
هَنِيٓ ــًٔا
(in) satisfaction
(and) ease
And give the women [upon marriage] their [bridal] gifts1 graciously. But if they give up willingly to you anything of it, then take it in satisfaction and ease.2
4:5
وَلَا
And (do) not
تُؤۡتُواۡ
give
the foolish
أَمۡوٰ
your wealth
which
جَعَلَ
(was) made
(by) Allah
لَكُمۡ
for you
قِيَـٰ مًا
a means of support
(but) provide (for) them
فِيهَا
with it
وَٱ كۡسُوهُمۡ
and clothe them
وَقُولُواۡ
and speak
لَهُمۡ
to them
قَوۡلاً
words
(of) kindness
And do not give the weak-minded your property,1 which Allāh has made a means of sustenance for you, but provide for them with it and clothe them and speak to them words of appropriate kindness.
4:6
وَٱ بۡ تَلُواۡ
And test
the orphans
حَتَّىٰٓ
until
إِذَا
[when]
بَلَغُواۡ
they reach[ed]
(the age of) marriage
فَإِنۡ
then if
ءَانَسۡتُم
you perceive
in them
رُشۡدًا
sound judgement
then deliver
إِلَيۡهِمۡ
to them
أَمۡوٰ
their wealth
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَأۡكُلُوهَآ
eat it
إِسۡرَافًا
extravagantly
and hastily
أَن
(fearing) that
they will grow up
وَمَن
And whoever
is
غَنِيًّا
rich
then he should refrain
وَمَن
and whoever
is
فَقِيرًا
poor
then let him eat (of it)
بِٱ لۡمَعۡرُوفِۚ
in a fair manner
فَإِذَا
Then when
دَفَعۡتُمۡ
you deliver
إِلَيۡهِمۡ
to them
أَمۡوٰ
their wealth
فَأَشۡهِدُواۡ
then take witnesses
عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ
on them
وَكَفَىٰ
And is sufficient
بِٱ للَّهِ
Allah
حَسِيبًا
٦(as) a Reckoner
And test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach marriageable age. Then if you perceive in them sound judgement, release their property to them. And do not consume it excessively and quickly, [anticipating] that they will grow up. And whoever, [when acting as guardian], is self-sufficient should refrain [from taking a fee]; and whoever is poor - let him take according to what is acceptable. Then when you release their property to them, bring witnesses upon them. And sufficient is Allāh as Accountant.
4:7

4:8
وَإِذَا
And when
حَضَرَ
present
(at) the (time of) division
أُوۡ لُواۡ
(of)
the relatives
وَٱ لۡيَتَـٰ مَىٰ
and the orphans
وَٱ لۡمَسَـٰ كِينُ
and the poor
فَٱ رۡزُقُوهُم
then provide them
from it
وَقُولُواۡ
and speak
لَهُمۡ
to them
قَوۡلاً
words
(of) kindness
And when [other] relatives and orphans and the needy are present at the [time of] division, then provide for them [something] out of it [i.e., the estate] and speak to them words of appropriate kindness.
4:9
وَلۡيَخۡشَ
And let fear
those who
لَوۡ
if
تَرَكُواۡ
they left
مِنۡ
from
خَلۡفِهِمۡ
behind
ذُرِّيَّةً
offspring
weak
خَافُواۡ
(and) they would have feared
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
about them
فَلۡيَتَّقُواۡ
So let them fear
Allah
وَلۡيَقُولُواۡ
and let them speak
قَوۡلاً
words
appropriate
And let those [executors and guardians] fear [injustice] as if they [themselves] had left weak offspring behind and feared for them. So let them fear Allāh and speak words of appropriate justice.

Indeed
those who
يَأۡكُلُونَ

سَعِيرًا
١٠(in) a Blazing Fire
Indeed, those who devour the property of orphans unjustly are only consuming into their bellies fire. And they will be burned in a Blaze [i.e., Hellfire].
