The Sufficient (Vol 7) · Hadith 476 (#Ḥadīth #4)

4- يُونُسُ عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ أَبِي رَوْحٍ صَاحِبِ الْخَانِ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى عَبْدٍ صَالِحٍ أَنِّي أَتَقَبَّلُ الْفَنَادِقَ فَيَنْزِلُ عِنْدِيَ الرَّجُلُ فَيَمُوتُ فَجْأَةً لا أَعْرِفُهُ وَلا أَعْرِفُ بِلادَهُ وَلا وَرَثَتَهُ فَيَبْقَى الْمَالُ عِنْدِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِهِ وَلِمَنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَالُ فَكَتَبَ اتْرُكْهُ عَلَى حَالِهِ.

4. Yunus has narrated from al-Haytham abu Ruh Sahib al-Khan who has narrated the following: “I once wrote to the virtuous servant (of Allah) that I manage hotels. A man who stays in the hotel may die suddenly and I do not know his town and his heirs; and his assets remain with me. What must I do about it? He (the Imam) wrote back, ‘You must leave it in its condition.’”
