Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33749 — A man who dies with no known heir

Al-Sha'bi said that Masruq was asked about a man who had died and, at his death, left neither a "mawla 'ataqah" (patron through emancipation) nor any heir. He said that his wealth goes where he assigned it; and if he made no bequest, his wealth goes to the public treasury (bayt al-mal).
