Chapter 4: Whoever Leaves Behind Wealth, It Is For His Heirs
باب مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ
Sahih Muslim 1619 e
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying
He who leaves property, that is for the inheritors; and he who leaves behind destitute children, then it is my responsibility (to look after them).حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَدِيٍّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلِلْوَرَثَةِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ كَلاًّ فَإِلَيْنَا " .
