Volume 9, Book 89, Number 252:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "Surely! Everyone of you is a guardian and is responsible for his charges: The
Imam (ruler) of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects; a man is the guardian of
his family (household) and is responsible for his subjects; a woman is the guardian of her husband's
home and of his children and is responsible for them; and the slave of a man is a guardian of his
master's property and is responsible for it. Surely, everyone of you is a guardian and responsible for
his charges."
