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.

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

[AI] I became ill in Mecca, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit me. I said: O Messenger of Allah, I have wealth and only one daughter. Should I bequeath two-thirds of my wealth and leave her one-third? He said, "No." I said: Should I bequeath half and leave her half? He said, "No." I said: Should I bequeath one-third and leave her two-thirds? He said, "One-third, and one-third is much," three times. Then he placed his hand on my forehead and wiped my face, chest, and belly, and said, "O Allah, heal Saad and complete his migration for him." I continued to feel as though I could still sense the coolness of his hand on my liver until this very hour.

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: «اللهم اشْفِ سَعْدًا وَأَتِمَّ لَهُ هِجْرَتَهُ». فَمَا زِلْتُ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيَّ بِأَنِّي أَجِدُ بَرْدَ يَدِهِ عَلَى كَبِدِي حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ.

قَالَ سَعْدٌ اشْتَكَيْتُ شَكْوَى بِمَكَّةَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي تَرَكْتُ مَالًا وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ أَفَأَوْصِي بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي فَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا الثُّلُثَ؟ قَالَ «لَا» قُلْتُ فَأَوْصِي بِالنِّصْفِ فَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا النِّصْفَ؟ قَالَ «لَا» قُلْتُ فَأَوْصِي بِالثُّلُثِ وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا الثُّلُثَيْنِ؟ قَالَ «الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَبِيرٌ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِي فَمَسَحَ وَجْهِي وَصَدْرِي وَبَطْنِي قَالَ اللهُمَّ اشْفِ سَعْدًا وَأَتِمَّ لَهُ هِجْرَتَهُ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَجِدُ بَرْدَ يَدِهِ عَلَى كَبِدِي حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ

I was seriously ill at Makkah and the Prophet visited me. I said to him "Messenger of Allah, I shall leave behind me a good fortune and I have only a daughter (as my heir). Shall I bequeath two-thirds of my property to be spent in charity and leave one-third (for the heir)?" He said, "No!" Then I asked, "Shall I bequeath half and leave her half?" He again said, "No". Then I asked, "Shall I Bequeath one-third and leave two- third (for her)?" the Prophet said,"(You may bequeath) one-third, but even one-third is much". He then placed his hand on my forehead and passed it over my face and stomach and made this supplication. "O Allah, cure sad and completed his emigration." Ever since I have not ceased to sense the pleasant cool of his hand on my liver."

أَنَّ أَبَاهَا قَالَ اشْتَكَيْتُ بِمَكَّةَ شَكْوَى شَدِيدَةً فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَتْرُكُ مَالاً وَإِنِّي لَمْ أَتْرُكْ إِلاَّ ابْنَةً وَاحِدَةً أَفَأُوصِي بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي وَأَتْرُكُ الثُّلُثَ؟ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ أُوصِي النِّصْفَ وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا النِّصْفَ؟ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَأَوْصِي بِالثُّلُثِ وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا الثُّلُثَيْنِ؟ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِي ثُمَّ مَسَحَ وَجْهِي وَبَطْنِي ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِ سَعْدًا وَأَتِمَّ لَهُ هِجْرَتَهُ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَجِدُ بَرْدَ يَدِهِ عَلَى كَبِدِي فِيمَا يَخَالُ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ
