حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الأُمَوِيُّ، قال حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قال حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قال حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ ضَيَاعًا فَإِلَىَّ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَأَنَسٍ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَطْوَلَ مِنْ هَذَا وَأَتَمَّ ‏.‏ مَعْنَى ضَيَاعًا ضَائِعًا لَيْسَ لَهُ شَيْءٌ فَأَنَا أَعُولُهُ وَأُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Sa‘id ibn Yahya ibn Sa‘id al-Umawi narrated to us; my father narrated to us; Muhammad ibn ‘Amr narrated to us; Abu Salamah narrated to us, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Whoever leaves wealth, it belongs to his family; whoever leaves dependents without means, their care is mine.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. There are reports on this topic from Jabir and Anas. Al-Zuhri narrated this from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in a longer and more complete form. The meaning of ‘leaves dependents’ is that he leaves someone destitute with nothing; I will support and provide for that person.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The compiler explains diya‘an as a dependent left destitute without resources and says the Prophet would provide for that person.

  • ‏ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَطْوَلَ مِنْ هَذَا وَأَتَمَّ ‏.
