Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith 592 – Volume 3, Book 41

English

Volume 3, Book 41, Number 592:
Narrated Abdullah bin 'Umar:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Everyone of you is a guardian, and responsible for what is in his
custody. The ruler is a guardian of his subjects and responsible for them; a husband is a guardian of
his family and is responsible for it; a lady is a guardian of her husband's house and is responsible for
it, and a servant is a guardian of his master's property and is responsible for it." I heard that from Al –
lah's Apostle and I think that the Prophet also said, "A man is a guardian of is father's property and is
responsible for it, so all of you are guardians and responsible for your wards and things under your
care."
