English translation
4781. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no believer but I, of all the people, I am the closet to him both in this world and in the Hereafter. Recite if you wish: 'The Prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves...' (V.33:6) so if a believer (dies) leaves some property, then his relatives will inherit that property; but if he is in debt or he leaves poor children, let those(creditors and children) come to me (that Imay pay the debt and provide for thechildren), for then I am his Maulā(supporter and protector)."
