A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have in my possession the inheritance of a man from the Azd, but I cannot find any Azdi to whom I may hand it over."The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and search for an Azdi for a year."The man came back to him after a year and said, "Messenger of Allah, I have not found an Azdi to whom I may give it."The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then go and look for the first man of Khuza you meet, and hand it to him."When the man turned to leave, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Bring the man back to me." When he returned, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Look for the eldest of Khuza and give it to him."
حدثنا عبد الله بن سعيد الكندي حدثنا المحاربي عن جبريل بن أحمر
أتى النبي ﷺ رجل فقال إن عندي ميراث رجل من الأزد ولست أجد أزديا أدفعه إليه قال اذهب فالتمس أزديا حولا قال فأتاه بعد الحول فقال يا رسول الله لم أجد أزديا أدفعه إليه قال فانطلق فانظر أول خزاعي تلقاه فادفعه إليه فلما ولى قال علي الرجل فلما جاءه قال انظر كبر خزاعة فادفعه إليه
