Narrated by بريدة بن الحصيب الأسلمي
Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I have property left by a man of Azd. I do not find any man of Azd to give it to him. He said: Go and look for man of Azd for a year. He then came to him after one year and said: Messenger of Allah, I did not find any man of Azd to give it to him. He said: Look for a man of Khuzaah whom you meet first and give it to him. When he turned away, he said; Call the man to me.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُحَارِبِيُّ ، عَنْ جِبْرِيلَ بْنِ أَحْمَرَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : "
إِنَّ عِنْدِي مِيرَاثَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْأَزْدِ وَلَسْتُ أَجِدُ أَزْدِيًّا أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ : اذْهَبْ فَالْتَمِسْ أَزْدِيًّا حَوْلًا ، قَالَ : فَأَتَاهُ بَعْدَ الْحَوْلِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَجِدْ أَزْدِيًّا أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : فَانْطَلِقْ فَانْظُرْ أَوَّلَ خُزَاعِيٍّ تَلْقَاهُ فَادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ : عَلَيَّ الرَّجُلُ ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ قَالَ : انْظُرْ كُبْرَ خُزَاعَةَ فَادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ
