Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31013 — Book of the Judgments

Awf said that a letter of Umar bin Abd al-Aziz was read out to us: "Whoever becomes bankrupt, and then a man finds his own goods with that person, he alone has more right to those goods than all the other creditors, unless he has already taken some part of the bankrupt person's property, in which case the rest of the property will be shared equally among all the creditors. For the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled in this very way."
