2416. It was narrated from Jâbir that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: “Whoever leaves behind money, it is for his heirs, and whoever leaves behind a debt or children, I am responsible for them, and I am nearer to the believers.”[1] (Sahih)
2416 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيَاعًا فَعَلَيَّ وَإِلَيَّ، وَأَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ»
