Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، - فِي آخَرِينَ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَيْسَرَةَ - عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْهَوْزَنِيِّ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ الْكِنْدِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ فَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيْعَةً فَإِلَىَّ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ وَأَنَا مَوْلَى مَنْ لاَ مَوْلَى لَهُ أَرِثُ مَالَهُ وَأَفُكُّ عَانَهُ وَالْخَالُ مَوْلَى مَنْ لاَ مَوْلَى لَهُ يَرِثُ مَالَهُ وَيَفُكُّ عَانَهُ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَائِذٍ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ وَرَوَاهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمِقْدَامَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَقُولُ الضَّيْعَةُ مَعْنَاهُ عِيَالٌ ‏.‏

Translation

Sulayman ibn Harb narrated to us—along with others, they said: Hammad narrated to us, from Budayl—meaning Ibn Maysarah—from 'Ali ibn Abi Talhah, from Rashid ibn Sa'd, from Abu 'Amir al-Hawzani, from al-Miqdam al-Kindi, who said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘I have a greater claim over every believer than he has over himself. Whoever leaves a debt or dependants, then they fall to me; whoever leaves property, it belongs to his heirs. I am the patron of one who has no patron: I inherit his property and release him from captivity. The maternal uncle is the patron of one who has no patron: he inherits his property and releases him from captivity.’ Abu Dawud said: ‘Al-Zubaydi related it from Rashid ibn Sa'd, from Ibn 'A'id, from al-Miqdam; Mu'awiyah ibn Salih related it from Rashid, who said: “I heard al-Miqdam.”’ Abu Dawud said: ‘Day'ah means dependants.’
