Verse8

(8) وَإِذَا حَضَرَ الْقِسْمَةَ أُوْلُواْ الْقُرْبَى وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينُ فَارْزُقُوهُم مِّنْهُ وَقُولُواْ لَهُمْ قَوْلاً مَّعْرُوفًا

8. " And when the relatives and orphans and the needy are present at the division (of heritage), give them (something) out of it and speak to them kind words."
Commentary :
An Ethical Ordinance

Certainly this verse has been revealed after the law of division of heritage, because it says:
" And when the relatives and orphans and the needy are present at the division (of heritage), give them (something), ..."
Though the terms ' orphans ' and ' the needy ' are mentioned in the abstract form, the purpose of it is the orphans and the needy of the relatives. Then, at the end of the verse, it says:
"... and speak to them kind words."
