"أنا أَولى بكل مؤمنٍ من نفسه، فمن ترك دَيْنًا أو ضَيعَةً فإِلىَّ، ومن تركَ مالًا فلورثته وأنا مولى من لا مولى له؛ أَرث ماله وأفُكُّ عانيه، والخالُ مولى من لا مولى له، يرث ماله، ويعقِلُ عنه".

The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone leaves a debt or a helpless family I shall be responsible-and sometimes the narrator said: Allah and His Apostle will be responsible-but if anyone leaves property, it goes to his heirs. I am the heirs of him who has none, paying blood-wit for him and inheriting from him; and a maternal uncle is the heir of him who has none, paying blood-wit for him and inheriting from him.

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Whoever leaves behind wealth, it belongs to his heirs. And whoever leaves behind a debt or loss, it comes to me (to settle), and I am the guardian for the one who has no guardian. Should I overlook him (the debt or loss) and inherit his wealth, if there is a close relative (kinship), they (the relative) are the guardian for the one who has no guardian. They should overlook him (the debt or loss) and inherit his wealth."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيْعَةً فَإِلَيَّ وَأَنَا وَلِيُّ مَنْ لَا وَلِيَّ لَهُ أَفُكُّ عَنْهُ وَأَرِثُ مَالَهُ وَالْخَالُ وَلِيُّ مَنْ لَا وَلِيَّ لَهُ يَفُكُّ عَنْهُ وَيَرِثُ مَالَهُ
