Urwa bin Zubayr reported,

He related that he asked Ayesha about the verse, "And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of other women" [Nisa 4:3].She replied, "This refers to an orphan girl under the care of her guardian who is attracted to her beauty and wealth and wishes to marry her while giving her less than the customary dowry given to women like her. Such men were forbidden from marrying these orphan girls unless they dealt justly with them by giving them the full dowry, and they were instructed to marry other women instead."Ayesha continued, "Then the people sought a further ruling from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so Allah revealed, "And they ask you for a legal ruling concerning women. Say, Allah gives you a ruling about them" [Nisa 4:127]."She said, "In this verse, Allah made clear that when an orphan girl possessed beauty and wealth, they desired to marry her but would not give her the dowry due to women of her standing. Yet when she had little wealth and beauty, they had no interest in her and would leave her to seek other women."She said, "Just as they would leave her when they had no interest in her, they likewise had no right to marry her when they did desire her unless they dealt justly with her by giving her the full dowry and granting her her due right."

حدثنا أبو اليمان أخبرنا شعيب عن الزهري قال كان

عروة بن الزبير

يحدث أنه سأل عائشة رضي الله عنها {وإن خفتم أن لا تقسطوا في اليتامى فانكحوا ما طاب لكم من النساء} قالت هي اليتيمة في حجر وليها فيرغب في جمالها ومالها ويريد أن يتزوجها بأدنى من سنة نسائها فنهوا عن نكاحهن إلا أن يقسطوا لهن في إكمال الصداق وأمروا بنكاح من سواهن من النساء قالت عائشة ثم استفتى الناس رسول الله ﷺ بعد فأنزل الله عز وجل {ويستفتونك في النساء قل الله يفتيكم فيهن} قالت فبين الله في هذه الآية أن اليتيمة إذا كانت ذات جمال ومال رغبوا في نكاحها ولم يلحقوها بسنتها بإكمال الصداق فإذا كانت مرغوبة عنها في قلة المال والجمال تركوها والتمسوا غيرها من النساء قال فكما يتركونها حين يرغبون عنها فليس لهم أن ينكحوها إذا رغبوا فيها إلا أن يقسطوا لها الأوفى من الصداق ويعطوها حقها
