And let those [executors and guardians] fear [injustice] as if they [themselves] had left weak offspring behind and feared for them. So let them fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Necessity of Surrendering the Inheritance According to the Portions that Allah OrdainedSa`id bin Jubayr and Qatadah said, "The idolators used to give adult men a share of inheritance and deprive women and children of it. Allah revealed;لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصيِبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَلِدَنِ وَالاٌّقْرَبُونَ(There is a share for men from what is left by parents and those nearest in relation).
