(Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully…) [4:10]. Said Muqatil ibn Hayyan: “This verse was revealed about a man from Ghatafan called Marthad ibn Zayd. This man had devoured the fortune of his young, orphaned nephew who was under his charge, and so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse about him”.
