18.82

وَ اَمَّا الْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلٰمَیْنِ یَتِیْمَیْنِ فِی الْمَدِیْنَةِ وَ كَانَ تَحْتَهٗ كَنْزٌ لَّهُمَا وَ كَانَ اَبُوْهُمَا صَالِحًاۚ-فَاَرَادَ رَبُّكَ اَنْ یَّبْلُغَاۤ اَشُدَّهُمَا وَ یَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنْزَهُمَا ﳓ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَۚ-وَ مَا فَعَلْتُهٗ عَنْ اَمْرِیْؕ-ذٰلِكَ تَاْوِیْلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِعْ عَّلَیْهِ صَبْرًا ﮒ(82)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city,[1] and their treasure was beneath it,[2] and their father was a righteous man;[3] so your Lord willed that they both reach their maturity and ˹then˺ take out their treasure; ˹it is˺ mercy from your Lord. I did not do this from my ˹personal˺ judgement;[4] this is the real interpretation of that which you could not tolerate.”

Commentary

[1]

An orphan refers to the pre-pubescent boy or girl whose father has passed away. It is stated in a hadith: “The one who takes responsibility for the food and drink of an orphan child of the Muslims, Allah Almighty will make him enter Paradise, unless he commits a sin which cannot be forgiven.” (Sunan Al-Tirmidhī:1924)

[2]

Leaving behind wealth for children is not in opposition to having trust in Allah Almighty (tawakkul). In fact, in accordance to a Hadith, leaving behind wealth for children is better than leaving them poor and needy.

[3]

Children benefit from the piety of their parents in the world and in the Hereafter.

[4]

A person today is not permitted to make the actions of Prophet Khiḍr عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام a basis for carrying out anything that opposes the Shari‘ah.
