The Prophet ﷺ said: I am nearer to every believer than himself, so if anyone leaves a debt or a helpless family, I shall be responsible, but if anyone leaves property, it goes to his heirs. I am patron of him who has none, inheriting his property and freeing him from his liabilities. A maternal uncle is patron of him who has none, inheriting his property and freeing him from his liabilities. Abu Dawud said: da'iah means dependants or helpless family. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by al-Zubaidi from Rashid b. Sa'd from Ibn 'A'idh on the authority of al-Miqdam. It has also been transmitted by Mu'awiyah b. Salih from Rashid who said: I heard al-Miqdam (say). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2900)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيْعَةً فَإِلَيَّ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَارِثِهِ وَأَنَا وَلِيُّ مَنْ لَا وَلِيَّ لَهُ أَفُكُّ عَنْوَهُ وَأَرِثُ مَالَهُ وَالْخَالُ وَلِيُّ مَنْ لَا وَلِيَّ لَهُ يَفُكُّ عَنْوَهُ وَيَرِثُ مَالَهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am a guardian of those who have no guardian. I inherit his wealth and manage his affairs. And the uncle is a guardian of those who have no guardian. He inherits his wealth and manages his affairs."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا مَوْلَى مَنْ لَا مَوْلَى لَهُ أَرِثُ مَالَهُ وَأَفُكُّ عَانَهُ وَالْخَالُ مَوْلَى مَنْ لَا مَوْلَى لَهُ يَرِثُ مَالَهُ وَيَفُكُّ عَانَهُ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "Whoever leaves behind wealth, it is for his family, and whoever leaves behind debt, it is for Allah and His Messenger." And perhaps he said, "It is for us." He said, "I am a member of a tribe who has no inheritance, and I leave it and disassociate myself from it. And the paternal uncle is a member of a tribe who has no inheritance, and he disassociates himself from it and inherits it."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ كَلًّا فَإِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ» وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ فَإِلَيْنَا قَالَ وَأنا عُصْبَةُ مَنْ لَا عُصْبَةَ لَهُ أَرِثُهُ وَأَعْقِلُ عَنْهُ وَالْخَالُ عُصْبَةُ مَنْ لَا عُصْبَةَ لَهُ يَعْقِلُ عَنْهُ وَيَرِثُهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I am the guardian of one who has no guardian. I will inherit from him and absolve him. And the paternal uncle is the guardian of one who has no guardian. He will inherit from him and absolve him."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَنَا وَلِيُّ مَنْ لَا وَلِيَّ لَهُ أَرِثُهُ وَأَفُكُّ عَنْهُ وَالْخَالُ وَلِيُّ مَنْ لَا وَلِيَّ لَهُ يَرِثُهُ وَيَفُكُّ عَنْهُ
