English translation

4573. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها: There was an orphan (girl) under the care of a man. He married her and she owned a date-palm (garden). He married her just because of that (garden) and not because he loved her. So the Divine Verse came regarding his case: "And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls..." (V.4:3) [The subnarrator added: I think he (i.e., another subnarrator) said, "That orphan girl was his partner in that date-palm (garden) and in his property."]

4573 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: " أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَتْ لَهُ يَتِيمَةٌ فَنَكَحَهَا، وَكَانَ لَهَا عَذْقٌ، وَكَانَ يُمْسِكُهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا مِنْ نَفْسِهِ شَيْءٌ فَنَزَلَتْ فِيهِ: {وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ لاَ تُقْسِطُوا فِي اليَتَامَى} أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ: كَانَتْ شَرِيكَتَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ العَذْقِ وَفِي مَالِهِ "
