Taking What Is Just and Reasonable

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that if a guardian of an orphan is poor, they should be allowed to take what is just and reasonable according to their labor.

Narrated Hisham bin 'Urwa from his father: who heard Aisha saying, "The Holy Verse; 'Whoever amongst the guardians is rich, he should take no wages (from the property of the orphans) but If he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable (according to his labors)' (4:6) was revealed concerning the guardian of the orphans who looks after them and manages favorably their financial affairs; If the guardian Is poor, he could have from It what Is just and reasonable, (according to his labors).
حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ فَرْقَدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ عُرْوَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ تَقُولُ ‏{‏وَمَنْ كَانَ غَنِيًّا فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْ وَمَنْ كَانَ فَقِيرًا فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ‏}‏ أُنْزِلَتْ فِي وَالِي الْيَتِيمِ الَّذِي يُقِيمُ عَلَيْهِ، وَيُصْلِحُ فِي مَالِهِ، إِنْ كَانَ فَقِيرًا أَكَلَ مِنْهُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the importance of justice when it comes to guardianship of orphans. It states that if the guardian is poor, they should be allowed to take what is just and reasonable according to their labor from the property of the orphans. This means that even though a guardian may not have much money or resources themselves, they should still be given enough for them to live comfortably in exchange for taking care of an orphan's financial affairs. The hadith also emphasizes fairness in this situation by making sure that whatever amount the guardian takes is proportional with how much work they put into managing the orphan's finances. In other words, it teaches us not only about justice but also about being fair when dealing with others' possessions or money.
