[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was approached by a man who said, "I have inherited property from a man of Azd, but I cannot find any Azdis to give it to." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and seek out any Azdis nearby." After some time, the man returned and said, "I still cannot find any Azdis to give the property to." The Prophet ﷺ advised him, "Then go and look for a trustworthy person and give it to him." Muhammad ibn Isma'il said, "The trustworthy person mentioned by the Prophet ﷺ was Kabir bin Khuzay'ah, so give it to him." In the year 6364, Muhammad ibn al-'Ala narrated from Ibn Idris, who said, "I heard Jabriel bin Ahmar narrate from Ibn Buraydah, who said, 'A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have inherited property from a man of Azd.' The rest of the narration is mursal."
