Sayyiduna Miqdam al-Kindi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am more entitled to every believer than his own self. Whoever leaves behind a debt or dependents (Haytham used the word "kalla"), then their responsibility is upon me, and whoever (Muslim) leaves behind wealth, then it is for his heirs. Whoever has no mawla (heir), then I am his mawla. I will inherit his wealth and free his captive. Whoever has no mawla (heir), then his maternal uncle will be his mawla; he will inherit his wealth and free his captive.
