Sahih al-Bukhari 2751 (Book 55, Hadith 14) #2630
Responsibility of Guardianship

SUMMARY: Everyone is responsible for their own actions and the people they are in charge of.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: I heard Allah's Messenger saying, "All of you are guardians and responsible for your charges: the Ruler (ie Imam) is a guardian and responsible for his subjects; and a man is a guardian of his family and is responsible for his charges; and a lady is a guardian in the house of her husband and is responsible for her charge; and a servant is a guardian of the property of his master and is responsible for his charge". I think he also said, "And a man is a guardian of the property of his father".
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَمَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ، وَالإِمَامُ رَاعٍ وَمَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ، وَالرَّجُلُ رَاعٍ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَمَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ، وَالْمَرْأَةُ فِي بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا رَاعِيَةٌ وَمَسْئُولَةٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهَا، وَالْخَادِمُ فِي مَالِ سَيِّدِهِ رَاعٍ وَمَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ وَحَسِبْتُ أَنْ قَدْ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَالرَّجُلُ رَاعٍ فِي مَالِ أَبِيهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Take ownership over your responsibilities; Be accountable for your actions; Take good care those who are under your guardianship.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that everyone has a responsibility to take care of those who are under their guardianship. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that rulers have a responsibility to take care of their subjects, husbands have a responsibility to take care of their wives, servants have a responsibility to take care of their masters' property, and fathers have a responsibility to take care of their children's property. This means that everyone should be aware that they are responsible for the people or things under them and should do what is best for them. It also teaches us the importance of being accountable for our actions and taking ownership over our responsibilities.
