Trading with Orphans' Property

SUMMARY: A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, used to give the property of orphans in her house to someone who would use it for trading on their behalf.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to give the property of the orphans that were in her house to whoever would use it to trade with on their behalf.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ كَانَتْ تُعْطِي أَمْوَالَ الْيَتَامَى الَّذِينَ فِي حَجْرِهَا مَنْ يَتَّجِرُ لَهُمْ فِيهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
A'isha, the wife of Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was known for her generosity and kindness. She was especially kind towards orphans by giving them a chance to benefit from their own property. She would entrust someone with trading on behalf of these orphans so that they could gain profits from their own possessions. This hadith teaches us about being generous towards those in need and taking care of those who are unable to take care of themselves. It also encourages us to be responsible when dealing with other people's money or possessions as we should always act in good faith when managing other people's affairs.
