Sunan Abi Dawud 2903 (Book 19, Hadith 19) #23193
Giving Property To Those In Need

SUMMARY: A man came to the Prophet and asked what to do with a property left by someone from Azd tribe, as he could not find anyone from that tribe. The Prophet told him to look for someone from Khuza'ah tribe and give it to him.

Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: A man came to the Messenger of Allah 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.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنْ جِبْرِيلَ بْنِ أَحْمَرَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي مِيرَاثَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَزْدِ وَلَسْتُ أَجِدُ أَزْدِيًّا أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اذْهَبْ فَالْتَمِسْ أَزْدِيًّا حَوْلاً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ بَعْدَ الْحَوْلِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَجِدْ أَزْدِيًّا أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَانْطَلِقْ فَانْظُرْ أَوَّلَ خُزَاعِيٍّ تَلْقَاهُ فَادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ ‏"‏ عَلَىَّ الرَّجُلَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَالَ ‏"‏ انْظُرْ كُبْرَ خُزَاعَةَ فَادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about giving away one's property or possessions in charity or as a gift. It was narrated by Buraydah ibn al-Hasib, who reported that a man came to the Messenger of Allah and said he had some property left by someone of Azd tribe but he could not find anyone from that tribe. The Prophet told him to look for someone from Khuza'ah tribe and give it away if he couldn't find anyone from Azd. When the man turned away, the Prophet called him back and asked him to look for the leading man of Khuza'ah instead of just any person in order for his charity work be more beneficial. This hadith teaches us about being generous with our possessions, especially when it comes helping those in need or those who are less fortunate than us. It also encourages us to think carefully before giving something away so we can make sure our donations are put into good use and benefit others in an effective way.
