Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Sulaiman bin Mughira reports that I asked Hasan about a man who had made a transaction with a woman from among the Ahl al-Dhimma, and that woman had something belonging to him. He ended the transaction with her, but then he could not find the woman. Should that man put that thing into the Muslims’ treasury (Bayt al-Mal)? He replied: Yes!
