It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Each of you is a shepherd, and each of you will be asked about his flock. The ruler is a shepherd and will be questioned about his subjects; a man is a shepherd and will be asked about his wife and those under his ownership (male and female slaves); a woman is the guardian of her husband's rights and will be questioned about his house and children; and a slave is the guardian of his master's rights and will be asked about his wealth. So each one of you is a shepherd and each one will be called to account; therefore prepare an answer for these questions." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is its answer?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Righteous deeds."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Qatadah except Sa'id, and Isma'il bin Abbad is alone in narrating it."
