Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32950 — Those who permitted bequeathing all

Al-Sha'bi said: Masruq was asked about a man who, at his death, left behind neither a master who had freed him nor any heir. He said: "His wealth is to be spent where he directed it to be spent in his bequest, and if he made no bequest, his wealth is to be placed in the public treasury (bayt al-mal)."
