(152) وَ لا تَقْرَبُوا مالَ الْيَتِيمِ إِلاَّ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَ أَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَ الْمِيزانَ
بِالْقِسْطِ لا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْساً إِلاَّ وُسْعَها وَ إِذا قُلْتُمْ فَاعْدِلُوا وَ لَوْ كانَ ذا قُرْبى وَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ أَوْفُوا ذلِكُمْ وَصَّاكُمْ بِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
152. " And do not approach the orphan's property except in the best manner until he reaches his maturity. And give full measure and weight with justice. We do not impose upon anyone a duty but to the extent of his ability. And when you speak, be just, though it be (against) a relative; and fulfil Allah's covenant. This He has enjoined you with so that you might remember."
Commentary :
This verse continues stating the ten commandments. It says :
6. " And do not approach the orphan's Property except in the best manner until he reaches his maturity.
7. "... And give full measure and weight with justice. We do not impose upon anyone a duty but to the extent of his ability. ..."
8. "... And when you speak, be just, though it be (against) a relative; ..."
9. "...and fulfil Allah's covenant. ...", and do not breach it.
The objective meaning of "Allah's covenant" is all of Allah's covenants, irrespective of genetic covenants and canonical covenants, together with the Divine duties, and any kind of promise, such as: vow and oath.
Again, for an emphasis, at the end of these four parts of commandments, the verse says:
"... This He has enjoined you with so that you might remember."
