وَٱبْتَلُوا۟ And test ٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ the orphans حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَا [when] بَلَغُوا۟ they reach[ed] ٱلنِّكَاحَ (the age of) marriage فَإِنْ then if ءَانَسْتُم you perceive مِّنْهُمْ in them رُشْدًۭا sound judgement فَٱدْفَعُوٓا۟ then deliver إِلَيْهِمْ to them أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ ۖ their wealth وَلَا And (do) not تَأْكُلُوهَآ eat it إِسْرَافًۭا extravagantly وَبِدَارًا and hastily أَن (fearing) that يَكْبَرُوا۟ ۚ they will grow up وَمَن And whoever كَانَ is غَنِيًّۭا rich فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْ ۖ then he should refrain وَمَن and whoever كَانَ is فَقِيرًۭا poor فَلْيَأْكُلْ then let him eat (of it) بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ۚ in a fair manner فَإِذَا Then when دَفَعْتُمْ you deliver إِلَيْهِمْ to them أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ their wealth فَأَشْهِدُوا۟ then take witnesses عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ on them وَكَفَىٰ And is sufficient بِٱللَّهِ Allah حَسِيبًۭا (as) a Reckoner ٦

And test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach marriageable age. Then if you perceive in them sound judgement, release their property to them. And do not consume it excessively and quickly, [anticipating] that they will grow up. And whoever, [when acting as guardian], is self-sufficient should refrain [from taking a fee]; and whoever is poor - let him take according to what is acceptable. Then when you release their property to them, bring witnesses upon them. And sufficient is Allāh as Accountant.
