'Abdullah said: I found in my father's book: Ishaq ibn Yusuf narrated to us, 'Ubayd Allah narrated to us, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock. The imam who is in authority over the people is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. A man is a shepherd over his family and is responsible for them. A woman is a shepherd in her husband's household and is responsible for her flock. A servant is a shepherd over his master's wealth and is responsible for it. Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock.'
