And recall when Allah took from the Prophets their covenant [175]—whatever I should give you of the Scripture and wisdom—then comes [176] to you the Messenger confirming what is with you [177].

    152. And do not approach the property of orphans except in the best manner until they reach maturity [356]. And give full measure and weight in justice [357]. We do not burden a soul beyond its capacity [358]. And when you speak, be just, even if it concerns a relative [359]. And fulfill your covenant with Allah [360]. This is what He has enjoined upon you, that perhaps you may remember [361].
