Sunan Abi Dawud 2899 (Book 19, Hadith 15) #23189
Responsibility for Debts and Families

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ is responsible for those who leave behind debts or helpless families, and the heirs of those who have no family will inherit their property.

Narrated Al-Miqdam al-Kindi: The Prophet said: If anyone leaves a debt or a helpless family I shall be responsible-and sometimes the narrator said: Allah and His Apostle will be responsible-but if anyone leaves property, it goes to his heirs. I am the heirs of him who has none, paying blood-wit for him and inheriting from him; and a maternal uncle is the heir of him who has none, paying blood-wit for him and inheriting from him.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْهَوْزَنِيِّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ لُحَىٍّ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ مَنْ تَرَكَ كَلاًّ فَإِلَىَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ ‏"‏ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ‏"‏ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ وَأَنَا وَارِثُ مَنْ لاَ وَارِثَ لَهُ أَعْقِلُ لَهُ وَأَرِثُهُ وَالْخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لاَ وَارِثَ لَهُ يَعْقِلُ عَنْهُ وَيَرِثُهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the responsibility of taking care of those who are left behind after someone passes away. If a person leaves behind any debt or a helpless family, then it is the responsibility of the Prophet to take care of them. In addition, if someone has no family members left, then their inheritance will go to their maternal uncle. This hadith teaches us that we should always be mindful and take care of our families even after we pass away by making sure that they are taken care off financially in case something happens to us. It also teaches us that it is important to make sure our debts are paid off before we pass away so as not to burden our loved ones with them afterwards.
