سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ فِي يَدِهِ مَالٌ لِأَيْتَامٍ فَيَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَمُدُّ يَدَهُ فَيَأْخُذُهُ وَ يَنْوِي أَنْ يَرُدَّهُ فَقَالَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ إِلَّا الْقَصْدَ لَا يُسْرِفُ فَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ نِيَّتِهِ أَنْ لَا يَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَهُوَ بِالْمَنْزِلِ الَّذِي قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوالَ الْيَتامى ظُلْماً .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr who said, ‘I asked Abu Al Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about the man who happens to have the wealth of the orphan in his hands, so he is needy to it and he extends his hand and takes it, and he intends to return it, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is not befitting for him that he consumes except in moderation not being extravagant. So if it was from his intention that he would not be returning it upon them, so he would be at the status of those for whom Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Says <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h10"><a href="/books/quran:4#h10">[4:10]</a></a> (As for) those who swallow the property of the orphans unjustly</span>’.
