50- حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالا حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ مَا أَيْسَرُ مَا يَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ النَّارَ قَالَ مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ دِرْهَماً وَ نَحْنُ الْيَتِيمُ. قال مصنف هذا الكتاب رضي الله عنه معنى اليتيم هو المنقطع القرين في هذا الموضع فسمى النبي ص بهذا المعنى يتيما و كذلك كل إمام بعده يتيم بهذا المعنى و الآية في أكل أموال اليتامى ظلما فيهم نزلت و جرت من بعدهم في سائر الأيتام و الدرة اليتيمة إنما سميت يتيمة لأنها منقطعة القرين
52 - Narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Walid - May Allah be pleased with them – they said: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Isa from Muhammad bin Abi Umair from Ali bin Abi Hamza from Abi Baseer that he said:
“I said to Abu Ja’far : May Allah do good to you, which is the easiest way to enter the fire of hell? He replied: To usurp a single dirham from the property of an orphan – and we (Aale Muhammad) are orphans.”
The author says: The orphan here denotes a person who is abandoned by his people. The Messenger of Allah (S) was called an orphan in the same sense and after him all the Imams are orphans in that same sense. And the verse which prohibits taking unlawfully anything from the property of orphans is in fact with regard to these personalities only. After that the verse is applicable to other orphans. And orphans are called ‘Yateem’ because they are cut off from normal circumstances.
