A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I have property left by a man of Azd. I do not find any man of Azd to give it to him. He said: Go and look for man of Azd for a year. He then came to him after one year and said: Messenger of Allah, I did not find any man of Azd to give it to him. He said: Look for a man of Khuza'ah whom you meet first and give it to him. When he turned away, he said; Call the man to me. When he came to him, he said: Look for the leading man of Khuza'ah and give it to him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2903)
أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ قَالَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي مِيرَاثَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَزْدِ وَلَسْتُ أَجِدُ أَزْدِيًّا أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَالْتَمِسْ رَجُلًا أَزْدِيًّا حَوْلًا قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ بَعْدَ الْحَوْلِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ أَجِدْ أَزْدِيًّا أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَانْطَلِقْ فَانْظُرْ أَوَّلَ خُزَاعِيٍّ تَلْقَاهُ فَادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ عَلِيَّ بِالرِّجَلِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَالَ انْظُرْ أَكْبَرَ خُزَاعَةَ فَادْفَعْهُ جِبْرِيلُ بْنُ أَحْمَرَ هُوَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَحْمَرِيُّ
