"And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of your choice." She said: "O son of my sister, this refers to a female orphan who is in the care of her guardian, and her wealth is joined to his, and he is attracted to her wealth and her beauty. So her guardian wants to marry her without being fair with regard to her dowry, and without giving her what someone else would give her. So they were forbidden to marry them unless they were fair to them and gave them the highest possible dowry that is customarily given, and they were commanded to marry other women of their choice."
'Urwah said: "'Aishah said: 'Then later on, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed concerning them: 'They ask your legal instruction concerning women, say: Allah instructs you about them, and about what is recited unto you in the Book concerning the orphan girls whom you give not the prescribed portions and yet whom you desire to marry.' 'Aishah said: 'What Allah, Most High, mentioned here that is recited in the Book is the first Verse in which it says: And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with orphan girls then marry (other) women of your choice.' 'Aishah said: 'What is referred to in the other Verse -and yet whom you desire to marry- is the desire of one of you not to marry orphan girl who is under his care if she is lacking in wealth and beauty. So they were forbidden to marry those orphan women to whose wealth they were attracted unless they were fair, because of their desire not to marry (those who were lacking in wealth and beauty.)'"
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 26, Hadith 151
When Al-Mundhir bin Abu Usaid was born, he was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) who placed him on his
thigh. While Abu Usaid was sitting there, the Prophet (ﷺ) was busy with something in his hands so Abu
Usaid told someone to take his son from the thigh of the Prophet (ﷺ) . When the Prophet (ﷺ) finished his job
(with which he was busy), he said, "Where is the boy?" Abu Usaid replied, "We have sent him home."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What is his name?" Abu Usaid said, "(His name is) so-and-so. " The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"No, his name is Al-Mundhir." So he called him Al-Mundhir from that day.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 78, Hadith 215
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) distributed something (from the resources of Zakat) amongst a group of people while I
was sitting amongst them, but he left a man whom I considered the best of the lot. So, I went up to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and asked him secretly, "Why have you left that person? By Allah! I consider him a
believer." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Or merely a Muslim (Who surrender to Allah)." I remained quiet for a
while but could not help repeating my question because of what I knew about him. I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Why have you left that person? By Allah! I consider him a believer. " The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Or
merely a Muslim." I remained quiet for a while but could not help repeating my question because of
what I knew about him. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Why have you left that person? By Allah! I
consider him a believer." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Or merely a Muslim." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h)
said, "I give to a person while another is dearer to me, for fear that he may be thrown in the Hell-fire
on his face (by reneging from Islam)."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 24, Hadith 79
Ibn `Abbas said, "When the ailment of the Prophet (ﷺ) became worse, he said, 'Bring for me (writing)
paper and I will write for you a statement after which you will not go astray.' But `Umar said, 'The
Prophet is seriously ill, and we have got Allah's Book with us and that is sufficient for us.' But the
companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) differed about this and there was a hue and cry. On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to
them, 'Go away (and leave me alone). It is not right that you should quarrel in front of me." Ibn
`Abbas came out saying, "It was most unfortunate (a great disaster) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was prevented
from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and noise. (Note: It is apparent
from this Hadith that Ibn `Abbas had witnessed the event and came out saying this statement. The
truth is not so, for Ibn `Abbas used to say this statement on narrating the Hadith and he had not
witnessed the event personally. See Fath Al-Bari Vol. 1, p.220 footnote.) (See Hadith No. 228, Vol.
4).
