Chapter 6 of the Quran (110) the Orphan’s Rights

Do not approach the wealth of the orphan save with that which is better, through protecting it and  making it grow; till he reach maturity and his legal age and  shows righteousness in his character.

——————————————————————————————————

Ayah 152 continues saying:

And do not approach the wealth of the orphan save with that which is better, through protecting it and  making it grow; till he reach maturity and his legal age and  shows righteousness in his character.

And give full measure and full weight, in justice, fairly, desisting from any fraud.

We do not charge any soul beyond its capacity, what it can bear in such [matters], so that if one makes a mistake in a measure or weight, and Allah knows that his intention had been well-meaning, then he suffers no blame, as is stated in one hadith of the Prophet Muhammad.

Allah does not task any soul upon measuring and weighing beyond its scope or beyond its effort to establish justice.  

And  if you speak a judgement or otherwise, then be just, by being truthful, even if he, the person receiving the statement or the one being accused in it, should be a kinsman.

In other words, if you give your word, do justice thereunto, be truthful, even though it be against a kinsman and you should be truthful and say what is true.

And fulfil Allah’s covenant.

This is what Allah has charged you with, that perhaps you will remember and you may heed the admonition.

The verse 6:152 in different translations

QARIB:

Do not touch the wealth of the orphan, except in the fairer manner until he reaches maturity. Give just weight and full measure, we never charge a soul with more than it can bear. When you speak, be just, even if it affects your own kinsmen. Fulfill the covenant of Allah. With such he charges you, in order that you remember.

SHAKIR:

and do not approach the property of the orphan except in the best manner until he attains his maturity, and give full measure and weight with justice– we do not impose on any soul a duty except to the extent of its ability; and when you speak, then be just though it be (against) a relative, and fulfill Allah’s covenant; this he has enjoined you with that you may be mindful;

PICKTHAL:

and approach not the wealth of the orphan save with that which is better, till he reach maturity. Give full measure and full weight, in justice. we task not any soul beyond its scope. And if ye give your word, do justice thereunto, even though it be (against) a kinsman; and fulfill the covenant of Allah. This he commandeth you that haply ye may remember.

YUSUFALI:

and come not nigh to the orphan’s property, except to improve it, until he attain the age of full strength; give measure and weight with (full) justice;- no burden do we place on any soul, but that which it can bear;- whenever ye speak, speak justly, even if a near relative is concerned; and fulfill the covenant of Allah: thus doth he command you, that ye may remember.
