Taking Care of Destitute Children

SUMMARY: This hadith emphasizes the importance of taking care of children who are left behind without any property.

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Apostle as saying: He who leaves property, that is for the inheritors; and he who leaves behind destitute children, then it is my responsibility (to look after them).
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَدِيٍّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلِلْوَرَثَةِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ كَلاًّ فَإِلَيْنَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the responsibility to take care of destitute children. It was narrated by Abu Huraira, a companion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who said that if someone leaves behind property, it should be given to their inheritors according to Islamic law. However, if someone leaves behind destitute children then it is the responsibility of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his followers to look after them. This hadith teaches us that we must take care and provide for those in need, especially vulnerable children who have been left without any support or resources. We must ensure that they are provided with basic necessities such as food and shelter so they can grow up healthy and strong.
