Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33587 — Those who used to let a Muslim
٣٣٥٨٧ - حدثنا غندر عن شعبة عن عمرو بن (أبي) (١) حكيم عن عبد اللَّه بن بريدة عن يحيى بن يعمر عن أبي الأسود الدئلي قال: كان معاذ باليمن فارتفعوا إليه في يهودي مات وترك أخاه مسلما، فقال معاذ: إني سمعت رسول اللَّه ﷺ يقول: "إن الإسلام يزيد ولا ينقص فورثه" (٢).
Abu al-Aswad al-Du'ali says that Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Yemen when people came to him with the case of a Jew who, on dying, left a Muslim brother as his heir. Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, Islam increases and does not decrease." After this he made that Muslim his heir.
