وَلْيَخْشَ
الَّذِينَ
لَوْ
تَرَكُوا
مِنْ
خَلْفِهِمْ
ذُرِّيَّةً
ضِعَافًا
خَافُوا
عَلَيْهِمْ
فَلْيَتَّقُوا
اللَّهَ
وَلْيَقُولُوا
قَوْلًا
سَدِيدًا
wa-l-yakhsha lladhīna law tarakū min khalfihim dhurriyyatan ḍiʿāfan khāfū ʿalayhim fa-l-yattaqū llāha wa-l-yaqūlū qawlan sadīdan
Let those (disposing of an estate) have the same fear in their minds as they would have for their own if they had left a helpless family behind: Let them fear Allah, and speak words of appropriate (comfort).
— Abdullah Yusufali
Let those fear [the result of mistreating orphans] who, were they to leave behind weak offspring, would be concerned on their account. So let them be wary of Allah, and let them speak upright words.
