Sahih al-Bukhari 2456 (Book 49, Hadith 40)
charge; the ruler is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects; the man is a guardian in his family
and responsible for his charges; a woman is a guardian of her husband’s house and responsible for her
charges; and the servant is a guardian of his master’s property and is responsible for his charge.” I
definitely heard the above from the Prophet (ﷺ) and think that the Prophet (ﷺ) also said, “A man is a guardian
of his father’s property and responsible for his charges; so everyone of you is a guardian and
responsible for his charges.”
