Chapter 19 · Shares of Inheritance (Kitab Al-Fara'id)حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَسْوَدَ الْعِجْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ جِبْرِيلَ بْنِ أَحْمَرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: مَاتَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِيرَاثِهِ، فَقَالَ: الْتَمِسُوا لَهُ وَارِثًا، أَوْ ذَا رَحِمٍ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ وَارِثًا وَلَا ذَا رَحِمٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَعْطُوهُ الْكُبْرَ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ ، وَقَالَ يَحْيَى: قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مَرَّةً يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ: انْظُرُوا أَكْبَرَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ.

A man of Khuzaah died and his estate was brought to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He said: Look for his heir or some relative. But they found neither heir nor relative. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Give it to the leading man of Khuzaah. The narrator Yahya said: Sometimes I heard him (al-Husayn ibn Aswad) say in this tradition: Look for the greatest man of Khuzaah.
