Hadith 6371
اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَزْدِ فَلَمْ يَدَعْ وَارِثًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((الْتَمِسُوا لَهُ وَارِثًا، الْتَمِسُوا لَهُ ذَا رَحِمٍ)) قَالَ: فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَدْفِعُوهُ إِلَى أَكْبَرِ خُزَاعَةَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from the Azd tribe passed away and he had no heirs. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Find his heir, find his relative." But no relative could be found. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give this inheritance to the eldest of the Khuza'ah tribe."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This narration is weak. When the deceased has no relatives, the wealth will be deposited into the Bayt al-Mal (public treasury), or the ruler may distribute the wealth considering some expediency, as is mentioned in the next blessed hadith.
