"عَن عمرو بن شعيب، عن أبيه، عن جده أن عمرو بن العاص كتب إلى عمر بن الخطاب في رُهبانٍ يترَّهبُون بمصْر فيموتُ أحدُهم وليس له وارثٌ، فكتب إليه: أَنَّ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ عَقِبٌ فَادْفَعْ مِيرَاثَهُ إِلَى عَقِبِه، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَقِبٌ فَاجْعَلْ مَالَهُ فِى بَيْتِ مَالِ المُسْلِمينَ، فَإِنَّ وَلاءَهُ لِلمُسْلِمِينَ".

"From 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, that 'Amr ibn al-'As wrote to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab about monks who lived as monks in Egypt, and one of them would die leaving no heir. He wrote to him: "Whoever among them has descendants, give his inheritance to his descendants, and whoever has no descendants, put his property in the public treasury of the Muslims, for its patronage belongs to the Muslims."
