Surah An-Nisa Ayat 10 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

30. From this we learn if the orphan heir of the deceased is not present at the funeral no portion from his must be spent on any funeral rites or Fateha. This is unlawful because the right of the orphan is in the wealth. The right thing to do is to distribute the wealth among the heirs according to Shariah, thereafter any adult heir could spend his share on these funeral rites. If this is not done first, then whatever food the heirs will be eating will be the fire of Hell.
On the Day of Judgment, smoke will be emanating from their mouths.
31. It is reported in a Hadith that whoever takes the wealth of the orphans unjustly, smoke will be emanating from their mouths, ears, and nose, even from their graves on the Day of Judgment. This would be the distinguishing feature of people who usurped the wealth of the orphans.

14. It is reported in a tradition that after the Battle of Uhud the wife of Sa’d b. Rabi’ brought her two daughters to the Prophet (peace be on him) and said: ‘O Messenger of God! These are daughters of Sa’d who was with you in the Battle of Uhud, where he was martyred. The girls’ uncles have seized the whole property and left nothing for them. Who will now marry these girls?’ It was after this incident that these verses were revealed.
