Question:
This man asks, may Allah bless you, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Baqarah 2:220] How do we distinguish between them?
Answer:
They used to separate the orphan's food from their own food out of extreme scrupulousness. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:[Al-Baqarah 2:220] meaning, He would have made things difficult for you. Indeed, Allah is Mighty and Wise, but He does not accept hardship for His believing servants; rather, He accepts ease and tranquility for them. Yes.

And if you mix your affairs with theirs - they are your brothers. And Allah knows the corrupter from the amender. And if Allah had willed, He could have put you in difficulty.
