Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ إِلاَّ وَأَنَا أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ، اقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ ‏‏{‏النَّبِيُّ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ‏}‏ فَأَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلْيَرِثْهُ عَصَبَتُهُ مَنْ كَانُوا، فَإِنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضِيَاعًا فَلْيَأْتِنِي وَأَنَا مَوْلاَهُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Ibrahim ibn al-Mundhir narrated to me: Muhammad ibn Fulayh narrated to us: My father narrated to us, from Hilal ibn ʿAli, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Abi ʿAmra, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace), who said, “There is no believer over whom I do not have a greater claim than anyone else, in this world and the Hereafter. If you wish, recite: ‘The Prophet has a greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves.’ Any believer who leaves property, let his agnatic kin inherit it, whoever they may be. If he leaves a debt or dependents, let them come to me; I am his guardian.”
