Hadith.5740 - Yunus ibn Abd Al-Rahman narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan who said: I asked Abu Abdullah about a mukatab (a slave who had entered into a contract for his freedom) who purchased his freedom and left behind wealth valued at one hundred thousand dirhams, with no heir to inherit from him. Imam said: "The one who is responsible for his liability (jarirah) inherits from him." I asked: "And who is responsible for his liability?" Imam replied: "The one responsible for the liabilities of the Muslims."
