باب مِيرَاثِ السَّائِبَةِ:Chapter on inheritance of the freed slave
Hadith 3155
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ: فِي رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَوْلَى عَتَاقَةٍ، قَالَ: "مَالُهُ حَيْثُ أَوْصَى بِهِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَوْصَى، فَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَالِ".
It is narrated from ‘Amir (Sha‘bi), may Allah have mercy on him, that Masruq, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a man dies and he has no freedman as his guardian, then his wealth should be spent as he has bequeathed. And if he has not made a bequest, then that wealth should be deposited in the public treasury (Bayt al-Mal).
