Salim bin Abdullah narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both): I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Each of you is a shepherd and each of you will be questioned about his flock. The ruler is a shepherd and he will be questioned about his subjects. A man is a shepherd over the members of his household and he will be questioned about them. A woman is a shepherd over her husband's house and she will be questioned about what is under her care. A servant is a shepherd over his master's wealth and he will be questioned about his responsibility. Each of you is a shepherd and each of you will be questioned about his flock."
