ahmad:9875Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar And Bahz > Shuʿbah > ʿAdī b. Thābit

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "Whoever leaves behind wealth, it will be inherited by his heirs, and whoever leaves behind children, I will take care of them. He said: "Bahz (a poor person) will take care of him. And whoever leaves behind neither wealth nor children, then he will be under our care."  

أحمد:٩٨٧٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَبَهْزٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ بَهْزٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ كَلًّا وُلِّيتُهُ قَالَ بَهْزٌ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ كَلًّا فَإِلَيْنَا
