Abdullah bin Buraydah narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I have the inheritance of a man from the Azd tribe, and I cannot find any Azdi to give it to. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and search for an Azdi man for a year." He came to him after the year and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have not found any Azdi to give it to. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then go and look for the first man of Khuza'ah you meet, and give it to him." When he turned away, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring him back to me." When he came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Look for the most senior man of Khuza'ah and give it to him."
