يَتَوَلَّى مَنْ شَاءَ وَ عَلَى مَنْ يَتَوَلَّى جَرِيرَتُهُ وَ لَهُ مِيرَاثُهُ قُلْنَا لَهُ فَإِنْ سَكَتَ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ وَ لَمْ يَتَوَالَ أَحَداً قَالَ يُجْعَلُ مَالُهُ فِي بَيْتِ مَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Shuayb Al Aqarqufy, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having been asked about the slave emancipating a slave unconditionally. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would be his guardian whoever he so desires, and upon the one who is guardian are his crimes, and for him would be his inheritance’. We said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘So if remains such until he dies and no one is his guardian?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘His wealth would be made to be in the public treasury of the Muslims’.
