English translation

2090. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever leaves wealth then it is for his heirs, and whoever leaves poor dependants then it (the responsibility) is for me." (Hasan)[1] [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ. Az-Zuhri reported it longer and more complete than this from Abū Salāmah from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ. There are other narrations on this topic from Jābir and Anas, and his saying: "Diyā'an" means wretched, having nothing – then I will take responsibility for him and spend on him.

Arabic text

٢٠٩٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبِي ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ،» وَمَنْ تَرَكَ ضَيَاعًا فَإِلَيَّ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَأَنَسٍ. وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَطْوَلَ مِنْ هَذَا وَأَتَمَّ. مَعْنَى ضَيَاعًا: ضَائِعًا لَيْسَ لَهُ شَيْءٌ، فَأَنَا أَعُولُهُ وَأُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ.

Commentary

The Hadīth makes it the responsibility of the Islamic government to settle the debts of a poor and needy person in the event of his death and take care of the financial needs of his family and children.
