While I was sick, the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon me and asked for some water to perform ablution, and
after he had finished his ablution, he sprinkled some water of his ablution over me, whereupon I
became conscious and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have sisters." Then the Divine Verses regarding the

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I am more closer to the believers than their ownselves, so whoever (among
them) dies leaving some inheritance, his inheritance will be given to his 'Asaba, and whoever dies
leaving a debt or dependants or destitute children, then I am their supporter."
