حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ کَثِيرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ أَنَا أَوْلَی بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ مَنْ تَرَکَ مَالًا فَلِأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَکَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيَاعًا فَإِلَيَّ وَعَلَيَّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2954
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet ﷺ said: I am nearer to the believers than themselves, so if anyone leaves property, it goes to his heirs, and if anyone leaves debt and dependants, let the matter come to me and I shall be responsible.
