It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when this verse was revealed: "And do not approach the property of the orphan except in the way that is best" [Surah al-An'am: 152] , the people separated their food and property completely from the property of the orphans. The result was that the orphans' food began to spoil and the meat began to rot. They complained about this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, sent down this verse: "Say: Setting their affairs right is best; and if you mix your affairs with theirs, then they are your brothers" [Surah al-Baqarah: 220] . The narrator said: Then the people began to live together with the orphans and to share their property with them. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
