Hadith 25:190
Waki’ narrated to us, from Isma’il, from al-Sha’bi, from Masruq: He was asked about a man who died and did not leave behind a freed slave (mawla ‘ataqah) nor an heir. He said: "It is [placed] where he placed it. If he did not bequeath anything, then his wealth is in the public treasury (bayt al-mal)."
حدثنا وكيع عن إسماعيل عن الشعبي عن مسروق سئل عن رجل مات ولم يترك مولى عتاقة ولا وارثا قال حيث وضعه فإن لم يكن أوصى بشيء فماله في بيت المال
