Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 10920 — A man whose wealth is gone for years

Amr bin Maymun said: Al-Walid bin Abd al-Malik took the wealth of a man from the people of al-Raqqah who was called Abu A'ishah, twenty thousand (dirhams), and put it into the public treasury (bayt al-mal). Then when Umar bin Abd al-Aziz became ruler, his children came to him and brought their grievance before him. He wrote to Maymun: "Give them back their wealth and take the zakah of this year of it. Had it not been dimar wealth (wealth whose return was not hoped for), we would have taken zakah from it for the years that have passed."
