Shares of Inheritance (Kitab Al-Fara'id)

Dawud :: Book 18 : Hadith 2894

Narrated Al-Miqdam al-Kindi:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) 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.
