The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am closer to the believers than their ownselves in this world and in the Hereafter, and if you like, you can read Allâh's Statement: ' The Prophet (ﷺ) is closer to the believers than their ownselves. ' (V.33:6) So, if a true believer dies and leaves behind some property, it will be for his inheritors (from the father's side), and if he leaves behind some debt to be paid or needy offspring, then they should come to me as I am the guardian of the deceased." [3:583, 584-O.B]
