surah Nisa aya 6 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿وَابْتَلُوا الْيَتَامَىٰ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا بَلَغُوا النِّكَاحَ فَإِنْ آنَسْتُم مِّنْهُمْ رُشْدًا فَادْفَعُوا إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تَأْكُلُوهَا إِسْرَافًا وَبِدَارًا أَن يَكْبَرُوا ۚ وَمَن كَانَ غَنِيًّا فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ فَقِيرًا فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ۚ فَإِذَا دَفَعْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فَأَشْهِدُوا عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ حَسِيبًا﴾
[ النساء: 6]
4:6 And test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach marriageable age. Then if you perceive in them sound judgement, release their property to them. And do not consume it excessively and quickly, [anticipating] that they will grow up. And whoever, [when acting as guardian], is self-sufficient should refrain [from taking a fee]; and whoever is poor - let him take according to what is acceptable. Then when you release their property to them, bring witnesses upon them. And sufficient is Allah as Accountant.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishGuardians, test the orphans when they are near to reaching maturity, by giving them a part of their wealth to see how they manage it.
If they manage it well, and show you their sound judgement, hand over their property in full.
Do not use up their wealth, overstepping the limits which Allah has approved for you: use their wealth only when necessary.
Do not rush to use it up for fear that they will take it when they reach maturity.
Whoever is wealthy should not use up the property of the orphan; and whoever is poor and has no wealth should only use what is necessary.
When you hand over their property to them, upon their reaching maturity and showing sound judgement, have it witnessed; to protect rights and to prevent causes of disagreement.
Allah is sufficient as a witness for that, and takes account of all that people do.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And try orphans (as regards their intelligence) until they reach the age of marriage; if then you find sound judgement in them, release their property to them, but consume it not wastefully, and hastily fearing that they should grow up, and whoever amongst guardians is rich, he should take no wages, but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable (according to his work). And when you release their property to them, take witness in their presence; and Allah is All-Sufficient in taking account.

Make trial of orphans until they reach the age of marriage; if then ye find sound judgment in them, release their property to them; but consume it not wastefully, nor in haste against their growing up. If the guardian is well-off, Let him claim no remuneration, but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable. When ye release their property to them, take witnesses in their presence: But all-sufficient is Allah in taking account.
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri

4:6 And test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach marriageable age. translate in arabic
وابتلوا اليتامى حتى إذا بلغوا النكاح فإن آنستم منهم رشدا فادفعوا إليهم أموالهم ولا تأكلوها إسرافا وبدارا أن يكبروا ومن كان غنيا فليستعفف ومن كان فقيرا فليأكل بالمعروف فإذا دفعتم إليهم أموالهم فأشهدوا عليهم وكفى بالله حسيبا
سورة: النساء - آية: ( 6 ) - جزء: ( 4 ) - صفحة: ( 77 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And test the orphans now and then until they reach maturity and be fit -for marriage. If you feel they are characterized by good sense and prudence, then hand over to them their property and you must not abuse it nor act with expedition of time and events to absorb it or devour it before they come of age. And he who is entrusted with the property must not impose a liability or charge a fee for the execution of his functions, but be virtuous should he be wealthy and opulent. But if he is poor, then he may remunerate himself with equity. And when you hand over the, property to them -the orphans- you must have others witness the transfer, and sufficient is Allah to be Hasibun (a Witness Who calls to account)
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(4:6) Test the orphans until they reach the age of marriage, *9 and then if you find them mature of mind hand over to them their property, *10 and do not eat it up by either spending extravagantly or in haste, fearing that they would grow up (and claim it). If the guardian of the orphan is rich let him abstain entirely (from his ward's property); and if he is poor, let him partake of it in a fair measure. *11 When you hand over their property to them let there be witnesses on their behalf. Allah is sufficient to take account (of your deeds).
And test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach marriageable age. meaning
*9). When such people approach their majority their mental development should be watched so as to determine to what extent they have become capable of managing their own affairs.
*10). Two conditions have been laid down for handing over the charge of their properties to such people. The first of these is the attainment of puberty, and the second is that of mental maturity - i.e. the capacity to manage their affairs in a sound and appropriate manner. There is full agreement among Muslim jurists with regard to the first condition. As for the second condition, Abu Hanifah is of the opinion that if an orphan does not attain mental maturity after he has attained puberty, the guardian of the orphan should wait for a maximum of seven years after which he should hand over the property to its owner regardless of whether he has attained maturity or not. According to Abu Yusuf, Muhammad b. al-Hasan and Shafi'i, maturity is an indispensable pre-condition for the handing over of property. If one were to apply the doctrine of the latter jurists it would probably be more appropriate to refer particular cases to a judge under Islamic law. If the judge is convinced that the person concerned lacks maturity he should make adequate arrangements for the supervision of that person's financial affairs. (For a more complete study of the subject see Jassas, vol. 2, pp. 59 ff.; Ibn Rushd, Biddyat al-Mujtahid, 2 vols., Cairo, Al-Maktabahal-Tijariyahal-Kubra, n.d., vol. 2, pp. 275ff.-Ed.)
*11). The guardian is entitled to remuneration for his service. The amount of this remuneration should be such as is deemed to be fair by neutral and reasonable people. Moreover, the guardian is instructed that he should take a fixed and known amount by way of remuneration, that he should take it openly rather than secretly, and that he should keep an account of it.
And test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach marriageable age. meaning in Urdu
اور یتیموں کی آزمائش کرتے رہو یہاں تک کہ وہ نکاح کے قابل عمر کو پہنچ جائیں پھر اگر تم اُن کے اندر اہلیت پاؤ تو اُن کے مال اُن کے حوالے کر دو ایسا کبھی نہ کرنا کہ حد انصاف سے تجاوز کر کے اِس خوف سے اُن کے مال جلدی جلدی کھا جاؤ کہ وہ بڑے ہو کر اپنے حق کا مطالبہ کریں گے یتیم کا جو سرپرست مال دار ہو وہ پرہیز گاری سے کام لے اور جو غریب ہو وہ معروف طریقہ سے کھائے پھر جب اُن کے مال اُن کے حوالے کرنے لگو تو لوگوں کو اس پر گواہ بنا لو، اور حساب لینے کے لیے اللہ کافی ہے
