2105. Āishah narrated that a freed slave of the Prophet ﷺ fell from foliage on a date-palm and died. So the Prophet ﷺ said: "See if he has any heirs." They said: "No." He said: "Pay it to someone among the people of the town." (Hasan) There is a narration on this topic from Buraidah. And this Hadith is Hasan.
٢١٠٥ - حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيِّ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ وَرْدَانَ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ «أَنَّ مَوْلًى» لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَعَ مِنْ عِذْقِ نَخْلَةٍ فَمَاتَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: انْظُرُوا هَلْ لَهُ مِنْ وَارِثٍ؟ قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: فَادْفَعُوهُ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْقَرْيَةِ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ.

Since Prophets do not inherit any money or wealth from anyone, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ took nothing from whatever was left behind by his freed slave, and asked it to be given to some needy person around, although traditionally, the previous master of the deceased person would get the inheritance (Al-Mughnī, v.9, p.215).
