وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو الْوَاسِطِيِّ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ:
إِنَّ أَخَوَيْنِ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ: يَهُودِيٌّ، وَمُسْلِمٌ. فَوَرَّثَ الْمُسْلِمَ مِنْهُمَا، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: لِمَ وَرَّثْتَ الْمُسْلِمَ ؟ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَخَوَيْنِ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى مُعَاذٍ ؓ: يَهُودِيٌّ، وَمُسْلِمٌ. فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُ: كَانَ أَبِي يَهُودِيًّا، وَكَانَ ذَا مَالٍ وَأَرْضٍ، فَلَمْ يَضُرَّنِي إِسْلَامِي عِنْدَهُ دُونَ أَنْ فَوَّضَ إِلَيَّ مَالَهُ وَأَرْضًا كُنْتُ أَزْرَعُهَا وَأَقُومُ فِيهَا، وَكُنْتُ أَتَصَدَّقُ، وَأَقْرِي الضَّيْفَ، وَأَصْنَعُ الْمَعْرُوفَ، وَأُعْتِقُ، فَكَانَ لَا يَعِيبُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ، فَمَاتَ. فَحَالُوا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ مَالِهِ، وَقَالُوا: لَا حَقَّ لَكَ. فَوَرَّثَ مُعَاذٌ الْمُسْلِمَ

✧ Two brothers brought a dispute before Yaḥyā b. Yaʿmar: a Jew and a Muslim. He made the Muslim inherit from them. It was said to him: “Why did you make the Muslim inherit?” He said: “Abū al-Aswad told me that a man told him that two brothers brought a dispute before Muʿādh ؓ: a Jew and a Muslim. The Muslim said: ‘My father was a Jew, and he had wealth and land. My Islam did not harm me with him; rather, he entrusted his wealth to me and land that I cultivated and managed. I used to give charity, host guests, do good, and free slaves. He did not criticize that about me. Then he died, and they came between me and his wealth and said: “You have no right.” So Muʿādh made the Muslim inherit.’”
