Hadith #50208
وَعَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ 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: «أعْطوا الْكُبْرَ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لَهُ: قَالَ: «انْظُرُوا أَكْبَرَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ خُزَاعَة»
On the authority of Buraydah, he said: A man from Khuza’a died, and his inheritance was brought to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he said: “Seek for him an heir or a relative.” He did not. They found for him an heir and no relative. Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “Give the elder of Khuza’ah.” Narrated by Abu Dawood In his narration: He said: “Look at a man older than Khuza’ah.”
