سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ تُخالِطُوهُمْ فَإِخْوانُكُمْ قَالَ يَعْنِي الْيَتَامَى إِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَلِي لِأَيْتَامٍ فِي حَجْرِهِ فَلْيُخْرِجْ مِنْ مَالِهِ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا يُخْرِجُ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ فَيُخَالِطُهُمْ وَ يَأْكُلُونَ جَمِيعاً وَ لَا يَرْزَأَنَّ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ شَيْئاً إِنَّمَا هِيَ النَّارُ .
Translation
Usman, from Sama’at who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h220"><a href="/books/quran:2#h220">[2:220]</a></a> and if you intermingle with them, so they are your brethren</span>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It Means the orphans, when the man (custodian) governs the orphans in his lap (care), so let him take from his own wealth upon a measurement of what he takes for each person from them. So he mixes them and they are all eating, and he should not take anything (extra) from their wealth. But rather, it is the Fire’.
