أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُدَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ} [الأنعام 152] وَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَالَ الْيَتَامَى ظُلْمًا} [النساء 10] قَالَ اجْتَنَبَ النَّاسُ مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ وَطَعَامَهُ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَشَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْيَتَامَى قُلْ إِصْلَاحٌ لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ} [البقرة 220] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {لَأَعْنَتَكُمْ} [البقرة 220]

✧ When this verse was revealed: {Do not approach the orphan's wealth except in the best manner} [al-An'am 152] and {Indeed those who consume the wealth of orphans unjustly} [al-Nisa' 10], the people avoided the wealth and food of the orphan, and that became hard for them, so they complained to the Prophet ﷺ, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted, revealed: {They ask you about orphans; say: Setting things right for them is best} [al-Baqarah 220] up to His saying {He would have put you in difficulty} [al-Baqarah 220].
