حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ نُسِخَتْ، وَلاَ وَاللَّهِ مَا نُسِخَتْ، وَلَكِنَّهَا مِمَّا تَهَاوَنَ النَّاسُ، هُمَا وَالِيَانِ وَالٍ يَرِثُ، وَذَاكَ الَّذِي يَرْزُقُ، وَوَالٍ لاَ يَرِثُ، فَذَاكَ الَّذِي يَقُولُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، يَقُولُ لاَ أَمْلِكُ لَكَ أَنْ أُعْطِيَكَ‏.‏

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:Some people claim that the order in the above Verse is cancelled, by Allah, it is not cancelled, but the people have stopped acting on it. There are two kinds of guardians (who are in charge of the inheritance): One is that who inherits; such a person should give (of what he inherits to the relatives, the orphans and the needy, etc.), the other is that who does not inherit (e.g. the guardian of the orphans): such a person should speak kindly and say (to those who are present at the time of distribution), "I can not give it to you (as the wealth belongs to the orphans)

Ibn Abbas bataate hain: Kuch log kehte hain ke upar wali ayat mansookh (radd) ho gayi hai. Allah ki qasam, yeh mansookh nahi hui, magar logon ne ispar amal karna chhod diya hai. Do qisam ke sarparast hain (jo waraasat ke maamle mein zimmedaar hote hain): Ek woh jo waaris hai; aise shaks ko chahiye ke woh (apni waraasat mein se rishtedaron, yateemon, aur zaroorat-mandon ko) kuch de. Doosra woh jo waaris nahi (jaise yateem ka sarparast): aise shaks ko narmi se baat karni chahiye aur (taqseem ke waqt maujood logon se) kehna chahiye, "Main tumhe (yeh) nahi de sakta (kyunke jaidad yateemon ki hai)."
