عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِمَوَالِي عَصَبَتِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ ضِيَاعًا أَوْ كَلًّا فَأَنَا وَلِيُّهُ فَلِأَدْعَى لَهُ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am closer to the believers than their own selves, so whoever leaves behind wealth, it will be for his relatives and heirs, and whoever leaves behind small children or (a burden of debt, etc.) and passes away, I am responsible for him.
