Hadith 18:1217

Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Waki’ narrated to us, he said: Rabi’ah ibn ‘Uthman al-Taymi narrated to us, from Sa’id ibn Ibrahim, that Abu Musa wrote to ‘Umar: "A man dies before us and he has no relative (rahim) and no master (mawla)." He said: So ‘Umar wrote to him: "If he left a relative, then the relative [inherits], and if not, then the one to whom he had a pledge of mutual aid (al-wafa’), and if not, then the public treasury (bayt al-mal); they inherit from him and they pay blood money on his behalf."

حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا وكيع قال حدثنا ربيعة بن عثمان التيمي عن سعيد بن إبراهيم أن أبا موسى كتب إلى عمر أن رجلا يموت قبلنا وليس له رحم ولا مولى قال فكتب إليه عمر إن ترك ذا رحم فالرحم وإلا فالوفاء وإلا فبيت المال يرثونه ويعقلون عنه
