Sunan Abi Dawud, 2900

Narrated Al-Miqdam al-Kindi: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: I am nearer to every believer than himself, so if anyone leaves a debt or a helpless family, I shall be responsible, but if anyone leaves property, it goes to his heirs. I am patron of him who has none, inheriting his property and freeing him from his liabilities. A maternal uncle is patron of him who has none, inheriting his property and freeing him from his liabilities. Abu Dawud said: da'iah means dependants or helpless family. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by al-Zubaidi from Rashid b. Sa'd from Ibn 'A'idh on the authority of al-Miqdam. It has also been transmitted by Mu'awiyah b. Salih from Rashid who said: I heard al-Miqdam (say)

Rapporté par Al-Miqdam al-Kindi رضي الله عنه : Le Prophète ﷺ a dit : « Je suis plus proche de chaque croyant que lui-même, donc si quelqu’un laisse une dette ou une famille démunie, j’en prends la responsabilité, mais si quelqu’un laisse des biens, ils reviennent à ses héritiers. Je suis le protecteur de celui qui n’a pas d’héritier, j’hérite de ses biens et je le libère de ses dettes. L’oncle maternel est le protecteur de celui qui n’a pas d’héritier, il hérite de ses biens et le libère de ses dettes. »
