Sayyiduna Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am closer to every believer than his own self. Whoever leaves behind wealth, it will go to his heirs, and whoever leaves behind debt or dependents (with no one to care for them), then they should come to me; I will pay off that person's debt and fulfill his other responsibilities. The maternal uncle becomes the heir of the one who has no heir, because he will also pay off his debt and fulfill his responsibilities."
