It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when this verse was revealed: "Do not go near the wealth of the orphan except in the best manner," people separated the wealth of the orphans from their own wealth. (But due to this, the problem arose that) the orphan's food would spoil and the meat would become foul-smelling, and thus his wealth would be wasted. So when this matter was presented before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), this command was revealed: "If you mix them (the orphans) with yourselves, then they are your brothers, and Allah knows the corrupter from the reformer."
