ويذكر ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قضى بالدين قبل الوصية، وقوله عز وجل: إن الله يامركم ان تؤدوا الامانات إلى اهلها سورة النساء آية 58فاداء الامانة احق من تطوع الوصية، وقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:" لا صدقة إلا عن ظهر غنى، وقال ابن عباس: لا يوصي العبد إلا بإذن اهله، وقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:" العبد راع في مال سيده".
'And it is reported that' the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered that debt be given precedence over bequest, and (in this Surah) the statement of Allah «إن الله يأمركم أن تؤدوا الأمانات إلى أهلها‏» "Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due." So fulfilling a trust (debt) is more necessary than fulfilling a voluntary bequest, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "The best charity is that after which a person remains wealthy." And Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "A slave cannot make a bequest without the permission of his master," and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "A slave is a guardian over the wealth of his master."

حدثنا محمد بن يوسف، حدثنا الاوزاعي، عن الزهري، عن سعيد بن المسيب، وعروة بن الزبير، ان حكيم بن حزام رضي الله عنه، قال: سالت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاعطاني، ثم سالته فاعطاني، ثم قال لي:" يا حكيم، إن هذا المال خضر حلو، فمن اخذه بسخاوة نفس بورك له فيه، ومن اخذه بإشراف نفس لم يبارك له فيه، وكان كالذي ياكل ولا يشبع، واليد العليا خير من اليد السفلى". قال حكيم، فقلت: يا رسول الله، والذي بعثك بالحق لا ارزا احدا بعدك شيئا حتى افارق الدنيا، فكان ابو بكر يدعو حكيما ليعطيه العطاء، فيابى ان يقبل منه شيئا، ثم إن عمر دعاه ليعطيه، فيابى ان يقبله، فقال: يا معشر المسلمين، إني اعرض عليه حقه الذي قسم الله له من هذا الفيء، فيابى ان ياخذه، فلم يرزا حكيم احدا من الناس بعد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى توفي رحمه الله.
Narrated `Urwa bin Az-Zubair: Hakim bin Hizam said, "I asked Allah's Apostle for something, and he gave me, and I asked him again and he gave me and said, 'O Hakim! This wealth is green and sweet (i.e. as tempting as fruits), and whoever takes it without greed then he is blessed in it, and whoever takes it with greediness, he is not blessed in it and he is like one who eats and never gets satisfied. The upper (i.e. giving) hand is better than the lower (i.e. taking) hand." Hakim added, "I said, O Allah's Apostle! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth I will never demand anything from anybody after you till I die." Afterwards Abu Bakr used to call Hakim to give him something but he refused to accept anything from him. Then `Umar called him to give him (something) but he refused. Then `Umar said, "O Muslims! I offered to him (i.e. Hakim) his share which Allah has ordained for him from this booty and he refuses to take it." Thus Hakim did not ask anybody for anything after the Prophet, till he died--may Allah bestow His mercy upon him.

حدثنا بشر بن محمد السختياني، اخبرنا عبد الله، اخبرنا يونس، عن الزهري، قال: اخبرني سالم، عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما، قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، يقول:" كلكم راع ومسئول عن رعيته، والإمام راع ومسئول عن رعيته، والرجل راع في اهله ومسئول عن رعيته، والمراة في بيت زوجها راعية ومسئولة عن رعيتها، والخادم في مال سيده راع ومسئول عن رعيته، قال: وحسبت ان قد قال: والرجل راع في مال ابيه".
Narrated Ibn `Umar: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "All of you are guardians and responsible for your charges: the Ruler (i.e. 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."
