Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنْ جِبْرِيلَ بْنِ أَحْمَرَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلٌ فَقَالَإِنَّ عِنْدِي مِيرَاثَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَزْدِ وَلَسْتُ أَجِدُ أَزْدِيًّا أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِ . قَالَ " اذْهَبْ فَالْتَمِسْ أَزْدِيًّا حَوْلاً " . قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ بَعْدَ الْحَوْلِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَجِدْ أَزْدِيًّا أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِ . قَالَ " فَانْطَلِقْ فَانْظُرْ أَوَّلَ خُزَاعِيٍّ تَلْقَاهُ فَادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ " . فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ " عَلَىَّ الرَّجُلَ " . فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَالَ " انْظُرْ كُبْرَ خُزَاعَةَ فَادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ "
Translation
Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib
A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "I have the inheritance of a man from Azd, and I do not find an Azdite to hand it over to him." He said, "Go and search for an Azdite for a year." He said, and he came to him after the year and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I did not find an Azdite to hand it over to him." He said, "Go and look for the first Khuza'ite you meet and hand it over to him." When he turned to leave, he said, "Bring the man back to me." When he came, he said, "Look for the prominent chief of Khuza'ah and hand it over to him."
