they ask you about intoxicants and games of chance. say in both of them there is a great sin and means of profit for men and their sin is greater than their profit. and they ask you as to what they should spend. say what you can spare. thus does allah make clear to you the communications that you may ponder on this world and the hereafter. and they ask you concerning the orphans say to set right for them is good and if you become copartners with them they are your brethren and allah knows the mischiefmaker and the pacemaker and if allah had pleased he would certainly have caused you to fall into a difficulty surely allah is mighty wise.
يسألونك عن الخمر والميسر قل فيهما إثم كبير ومنافع للناس وإثمهما أكبر من نفعهما ويسألونك ماذا ينفقون قل العفو كذلك يبين الله لكم الآيات لعلكم تتفكرون في الدنيا والآخرة ويسألونك عن اليتامى قل إصلاح لهم خير وإن تخالطوهم فإخوانكم والله يعلم المفسد من المصلح ولو شاء الله لأعنتكم إن الله عزيز حكيم
