Chapter on the Inheritance of the Magians (Zoroastrians)
وَ رَوَى اَلنَّضْرُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ اَلْحَذَّاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُولُ: "أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلِلْوَارِثِ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْناً أَوْ ضَيَاعاً فَإِلَيَّ وَ عَلَيَّ ".
Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd narrated from Yahya Al-Halabi, from Ayyub ibn Atiyyah Al-Hadhdha', who said: I heard Abu Abdullah عليه السلام narrated that the Prophet of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to say: "I have a greater claim over every believer than his own self. Whoever leaves behind wealth, it is for his heirs, and whoever leaves behind debt or dependents in need, then it is upon me and my responsibility."
