ENGLISH
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Ibn 'Umar, but there is (a slight change of wording) in the hadith transmitted through Zuhri that he said:
" I think that he (the narrator) said: The man is a custodian of the wealth of his father, and he would be answerable for what is in his custody."
