[Machine] Saad said, "I complained to me about my complaint in Makkah, so the Messenger of Allahﷺ came to me. He said, 'I said, O Messenger of Allah, I have left behind wealth with no one but one daughter. Should I bequeath two-thirds of my wealth to her and leave her one-third?' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Should I bequeath half of my wealth to her and leave her half?' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Should I bequeath one-third of my wealth to her and leave her two-thirds?' He said, 'One-third and one-third are a lot.' I said, 'So I put his hand on my forehead, and he wiped my face, chest, and stomach, and said, 'O Allah, heal Saad and complete his migration for him.' I have always felt that I can still feel the coolness of his hand on my liver until this hour."  

أحمد:١٤٧٤ – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْجَعْدِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ بِنْتُ سَعْدٍ قالتْ

قَالَ سَعْدٌ اشْتَكَيْتُ شَكْوًى لِي بِمَكَّةَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُ مَالًا وَلَيْسَ لِي إِلا ابْنَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ أَفَأُوصِي بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا الثُّلُثَ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ أَفَأُوصِي بِالنِّصْفِ وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا النِّصْفَ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ أَفَأُوصِي بِالثُّلُثِ وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا الثُّلُثَيْنِ؟ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ ثَلاثَ مِرَارٍ قَالَ فَوَضَعَيَدَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ فَمَسَحَ وَجْهِي وَصَدْرِي وَبَطْنِي وَقَالَ اللهُمَّ اشْفِ سَعْدًا وَأَتِمَّ لَهُ هِجْرَتَهُ فَمَا زِلْتُ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيَّ بِأَنِّي أَجِدُ بَرْدَ يَدِهِ عَلَى كَبِدِي حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ

bukhari:5659 – al-Makkī b. Ibrāhīm > al-Juʿayd > ʿĀʾishah b. Saʿd from her father

I became seriously ill at Mecca and the Prophet ﷺ came to visit me. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I shall leave behind me a good fortune, but my heir is my only daughter; shall I bequeath two third of my property to be spent in charity and leave one third (for my heir)?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I bequeath half and leave half?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I bequeath one third and leave two thirds?" He said, "One third is alright, though even one third is too much." Then he placed his hand on his forehead and passed it over my face and ʿAbdomen and said, "O Allah! Cure Saʿd and complete his emigration." I feel as if I have been feeling the coldness of his hand on my liver ever since.  

البخاري:٥٦٥٩ – حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْجُعَيْدُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ أَبَاهَا قَالَ

تَشَكَّيْتُ بِمَكَّةَ شَكْوًا شَدِيدًا فَجَاءَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَتْرُكُ مَالاً وَإِنِّي لَمْ أَتْرُكْ إِلاَّ ابْنَةً وَاحِدَةً فَأُوصِي بِثُلُثَىْ مَالِي وَأَتْرُكُ الثُّلُثَ فَقَالَ لاَ قُلْتُ فَأُوصِي بِالنِّصْفِ وَأَتْرُكُ النِّصْفَ قَالَ لاَ قُلْتُ فَأُوصِي بِالثُّلُثِ وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا الثُّلُثَيْنِ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَبَطْنِي ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِ سَعْدًا وَأَتْمِمْ لَهُ هِجْرَتَهُ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَجِدُ بَرْدَهُ عَلَى كَبِدِي فِيمَا يُخَالُ إِلَىَّ حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ
