«ما من مؤمن إلا أنا أولى به في الدنيا والآخرة اقرءوا إن شئتم: {النَّبِيُّ أولَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ} فأيما مؤمن مات وترك مالا فليرثه عصبته من كانوا ومن ترك دينا أو ضياعا فليأتني فأنا مولاه»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"I have the greatest right over every believer in this world and the Hereafter. Recite, if you wish, this verse: 'The Prophet has a greater right over the believers than their own selves.' So whichever believer dies and leaves wealth, his agnatic heirs ('asabah) shall inherit from him, whoever they may be; and whoever leaves a debt or helpless dependants, let him come to me, for I am his guardian (protector)."
