that he asked `Aisha, saying to her, "O Mother! (In what connection was this Verse revealed):'If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with orphan girls (to the end of the verse) that yourright hands possess?" (4.3) Aisha said, "O my nephew! It was about the female orphan under theprotection of her guardian who was interested in her beauty and wealth and wanted to marry her witha little or reduced Mahr. So such guardians were forbidden to marry female orphans unless they dealwith them justly and give their full Mahr; and they were ordered to marry women other thanthem."`Aisha added, "(Later) the people asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), for instructions, and then Allahrevealed: 'They ask your instruction concerning the women . . . And yet whom you desire to marry.'(4.127) So Allah revealed to them in this Verse that-if a female orphan had wealth and beauty, theydesired to marry her and were interested in her noble descent and the reduction of her Mahr; but if shewas not desired by them because of her lack in fortune and beauty they left her and married someother woman. So, as they used to leave her when they had no interest in her, they had no right tomarry her if they had the desire to do so, unless they deal justly with her and gave her a full amount ofMahr."
