حديث عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: (وَمَنْ كَانَ غَنِيًّا فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْ، وَمَنْ كَانَ فَقِيرًا فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ) أُنْزِلَتْ فِي وَالِي الْيَتِيمِ الَّذِي يُقِيمُ عَلَيْهِ، وَيُصْلِحُ فِي مَالِهِ، إِنْ كَانَ فَقِيرًا أَكَلَ مِنْهُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ.
`Urwa Narrated from:
I heard 'Âisha رضي الله عنها saying, "The Holy Verse:'Whoever amongst the guardians is rich, should take no wages (from the property of the orphans), but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable (according to his work)' (V.4:6), was revealed concerning the guardian of the orphans who looks after them and manages favourably their financial affairs; if the guardian is poor, he could have from it what is just and reasonable (according to his work)." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 414, Vol. 3)
