Volume 3, Book 46, Number 733:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
That he heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “Everyone of you is a guardian and is responsible for his
charge; the ruler is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects; the man is a guardian in his family
and responsible for his charges; a woman is a guardian of her husband’s house and responsible for
her charges; and the servant is a guardian of his master’s property and is responsible for his charge.”
I definitely heard the above from the Prophet and think that the Prophet also said, “A man is a guard –
ian of his father’s property and responsible for his charges; so everyone of you is a guardian and re –
sponsible for his charges.”
