Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثَنَا شُعْبَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيْلِيِّ قَالَ كَانَ مُعَاذٌ بِالْيَمَنِ فَارْتَفَعُوا إِلَيْهِ فِي يَهُودِيٍّ مَاتَ وَتَرْكَ أَخًا مُسْلِمًا فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ يَزِيدُ وَلَا يَنْقُصُ فَوَرَّثَهُ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Shu'bah told us, from Amr ibn Abi Hakim, from Abdullah ibn Buraydah, from Yahya ibn Ya'mar, from Abu al-Aswad al-Dili, who said: Mu'adh was in Yemen, and they brought before him a case about a Jew who had died leaving behind a Muslim brother. Mu'adh said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Islam increases and does not decrease — so he awarded him the inheritance.
