حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ تَرَکَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَکَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيَاعًا فَعَلَيَّ وَإِلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَوْلَی بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2416
