Sunan Abi Dawud 2904 (Book 19, Hadith 20) #23194
Giving Estate to Leading Man of Khuza'ah

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) instructed to give the estate of a deceased man to the leading or greatest man of Khuza'ah if no heir or relative is found.

Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: A man of Khuza'ah died and his estate was brought to the Prophet . He said: Look for his heir or some relative. But they found neither heir nor relative. The Messenger of Allah said: Give it to the leading man of Khuza'ah. The narrator Yahya said: Sometimes I heard him (al-Husayn ibn Aswad) say in this tradition: Look for the greatest man of Khuza'ah.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَسْوَدَ الْعِجْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ جِبْرِيلَ بْنِ أَحْمَرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ مَاتَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ بِمِيرَاثِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ الْتَمِسُوا لَهُ وَارِثًا أَوْ ذَا رَحِمٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ وَارِثًا وَلاَ ذَا رَحِمٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَعْطُوهُ الْكُبْرَ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَحْيَى قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مَرَّةً يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ‏"‏ انْظُرُوا أَكْبَرَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ

This teaches us that it is important for us as Muslims to take care and look out for each other in our communities. We should be generous and help those in need even if they are not related to us. It also shows us that we should respect our leaders and follow their instructions as long as they do not go against Islamic teachings.
