2106. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that a man died during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he did not leave any heirs except for a slave that he had freed. So the Prophet ﷺ gave him his inheritance. (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadith is Hasan. What is acted upon regarding this topic – according to the people of knowledge – is that when a man dies and he leaves no relatives behind, then his inheritance is placed into the Muslims' Bait Al-Māl.
٢١٠٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ عَوْسَجَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ «أَنَّ رَجُلًا» مَاتَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَدَعْ وَارِثًا إِلَّا عَبْدًا هُوَ أَعْتَقَهُ، فَأَعْطَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِيرَاثَهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ: إِذَا مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ عَصَبَةً أَنَّ مِيرَاثَهُ يُجْعَلُ فِي بَيْتِ مَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ.

Qāḏī Shurāih and Tāwūs hold the view that, if the master has not left behind any heir except for a slave whom he had freed, then the freed slave will get his inheritance just as the master inherits the freed slave, if the latter leaves behind no heirs. But the general view among the scholars is that in such a case the inheritance shall go to Bait Al-Māl (public treasury of a Muslim state) (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi, v.3, p.183).
