"عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عن أَبِيهِ قَالَ: جَاءَنِى رسولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعُودُنِى عَامَ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاع وَبِى وَجَعٌ قَدِ اشْتَدَّ بِى، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! قَدْ بَلَغَ مِنِّى الوَجَعُ مَا تَرَى وَأَنَا ذُو مَالٍ، ولَا يرِثُنِى إلَّا ابْنَةٌ لِى، أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثَىْ مَالِى؟ قَالَ: لَا، قُلْتُ: فَالشَّطْرُ، قَالَ: لَا. قُلْتُ: فَالثُّلُثُ، قالَ: الثُّلُثُ، والثُّلُثُ كَثيرٌ، إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَدَعْ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِياءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَدعَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ، وإِنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً تَبْتَغِى بِهَا وَجهَ اللهِ إلا أُجِرْتَ فِيهَا حَتَّى مَا تَجْعَلُ في فِى امْرَأَتِكَ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسولَ اللهِ! أُخَلَّفُ بَعْدَ أَصْحَابِى؟ فَقَالَ: إنَّكَ لن تُخَلَّفَ فَتَعْمَلَ عملًا صَالِحًا إلا ازْدَدْتَ به دَرَجَةً وَرِفْعَةً، وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُخَلَّفَ حَتّى تَنْتَفِعَ بِكَ أَقْوَامٌ وَيُضَرَّ بِكَ آخرُونَ، اللهمَّ أَمْضِ لأَصْحَابِى هِجْرَتَهُمْ وَلَا تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ، لكنِ الْبَائسُ سَعْدُ بْنُ خَوْلَةَ يَرثِى لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ مَاتَ بِمَكَّةَ".

God raises one's station for every good deed done for His sake; It is better to leave your heirs well-off than to leave them poor

bukhari:1295ʿAbdullāh b. Yūsuf > Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > ʿĀmir b. Saʿd b. Abū Waqqāṣ from his father

That his father said, "In the year of the last Hajj of the Prophet ﷺ I became seriously ill and the Prophet ﷺ used to visit me inquiring about my health. I told him, 'I am reduced to this state because of illness and I am wealthy and have no inheritors except a daughter. Should I give two-thirds of my property in charity?' He said, 'No.' I asked, 'Half?' He said, 'No.' then he added, 'One-third, and even one-third is much. You'd better leave your inheritors wealthy rather than leaving them poor, begging others. You will get a reward for whatever you spend for Allah's sake, even for what you put in your wife's mouth.'

I said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Will I be left alone after my companions have gone?' He said, 'If you are left behind, whatever good deeds you will do will upgrade you and raise you high. And perhaps you will have a long life so that some people will be benefited by you while others will be harmed by you. O Allah! Complete the emigration of my companions and do not cause them to turn on their heels.' Saʿd b. Khaulah ˹another companion˺ was unfortunate and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ lamented his death as he died in Makkah." ˹but Saʿd b. Abū Waqqas lived long after the Prophet ﷺ.˺  

البخاري:١٢٩٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي عَامَ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ مِنْ وَجَعٍ اشْتَدَّ بِي فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي قَدْ بَلَغَ بِي مِنَ الْوَجَعِ وَأَنَا ذُو مَالٍ وَلاَ يَرِثُنِي إِلاَّ ابْنَةٌ، أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثَىْ مَالِي؟ قَالَ: «لاَ۔» فَقُلْتُ: بِالشَّطْرِ؟ فَقَالَ: «لاَ۔» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «الثُّلُثُ، وَالثُّلْثُ كَبِيرٌ۔» أَوْ «كَثِيرٌ۔ إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَذَرَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَذَرَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ، وَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً تَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَجْهَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ أُجِرْتَ بِهَا حَتَّى مَا تَجْعَلُ فِي فِي امْرَأَتِكَ۔»

فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أُخَلَّفُ بَعْدَ أَصْحَابِي؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُخَلَّفَ، فَتَعْمَلَ عَمَلاً صَالِحًا إِلاَّ ازْدَدْتَ بِهِ دَرَجَةً وَرِفْعَةً ثُمَّ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُخَلَّفَ حَتَّى يَنْتَفِعَ بِكَ أَقْوَامٌ وَيُضَرَّ بِكَ آخَرُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ أَمْضِ لأَصْحَابِي هِجْرَتَهُمْ وَلاَ تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ۔» لَكِنِ الْبَائِسُ سَعْدُ ابْنُ خَوْلَةَ يَرْثِي لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ مَاتَ بِمَكَّةَ

In the year of Hajjat-ul-Wadaʿ the Prophet ﷺ visited me when I fell ill and was about to die because of that illness. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I am very ill as you see, and I am a rich man and have no heir except my only daughter. Shall I give 2/3 of my property in charity?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I then give one half of it in charity?" He said, "O Saʿd! Give 1/3 (in charity) and even 1/3 is too much. No doubt, it is better to leave your children rich than to leave them poor, reduced to begging from others. And Allah will reward you for whatever you spend with the intention of gaining Allah's Pleasure even if it were a mouthful of food you put into your wives mouth." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Am I to be left behind (in Mecca) after my companions have gone?" He said, "If you should be left behind, you will be upgraded and elevated for every deed you will do with a desire to achieve Allah's Pleasure. I hope that you will live long so that some people will benefit by you while others will be harmed. O Allah! Please fulfill the migration of my companions and do not make them turn back on their heels. But (we feel sorry for) the unlucky Saʿd bin Khaulah." Messenger of Allah ﷺ lamented his death in Mecca.

The Prophet ﷺ visited me during Hajjat ul-Wadaʿ while I was suffering from a disease which brought me to the verge of death. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! My ailment has reached such a (bad) state as you see, and I have much wealth, but I have no-one to inherit from me except my only daughter. Shall I give 2/3 of my property as alms (in charity)?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No," I said, "Shall I give half of my property as alms?" He said, "No." I said, "(Shall I give) 1/3 of it? " He replied, " 1/3, and even 1/3 is too much. It is better for you to leave your inheritors wealthy rather than to leave them poor, begging people (for their sustenance); and whatever you spend for Allah's Sake, you will get reward for it even for the morsel of food which you put in your wives mouth." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Should I remain (in Mecca) behind my companions (who are going with you to Medina)?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you remain behind, any good deed which you will do for Allah's Sake, will upgrade and elevate you. May be you will live longer so that some people may benefit by you and some other (i.e. infidels) may get harmed by you." The Prophet ﷺ then added, "O Allah! Complete the Migration of my companions and do not turn them on their heels. But the poor Saʿd bin Khaula (not the above mentioned Saʿd) (died in Mecca) ." Messenger of Allah ﷺ pitied Saʿd for he died in Mecca.

I was stricken by an ailment that led me to the verge of death. The Prophet ﷺ came to pay me a visit. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have much property and no heir except my single daughter. Shall I give two-thirds of my property in charity?" He said, "No." I said, "Half of it?" He said, "No." I said, "Onethird of it?" He said, "You may do so) though one-third is also to a much, for it is better for you to leave your off-spring wealthy than to leave them poor, asking others for help. And whatever you spend (for Allah's sake) you will be rewarded for it, even for a morsel of food which you may put in the mouth of your wife." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Will I remain behind and fail to complete my emigration?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you are left behind after me, whatever good deeds you will do for Allah's sake, that will upgrade you and raise you high. May be you will have long life so that some people may benefit by you and others (the enemies) be harmed by you." But Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt sorry for Saʿd bin Khaula as he died in Mecca. (Sufyan, a sub-narrator said that Saʿd bin Khaula was a man from the tribe of Bani 'Amir bin Lu'ai.)

Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit me during my ailment which had been aggravated during Hajjat-al- Wadaʿ. I said to him, "You see how sick I am. I have much property but have no heir except my only daughter May I give two thirds of my property in charity?"! He said, "No." I said, "Half of it?" He said, "No." I said "One third?"

Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited me in my illness which brought me near death in the year of Hajjat-ul-Wada' (Farewell Pilgrimage). I said: Messenger of Allah, you can well see the pain with which I am afflicted and I am a man possessing wealth, and there is none to inherit me except only one daughter. Should I give two-thirds of my property as Sadaqa? He said: No. I said: Should I give half (of my property) as Sadaqa? He said: No. He (further) said: Give one-third (in charity) and that is quite enough. To leave your heirs rich is better than to leave them poor, begging from people; that you would never incur an expense seeking therewith the pleasure of Allah, but you would be rewarded therefor, even for a morsel of food that you put in the mouth of your wife. I said: Messenger of Allah. would I survive my companions? He (the Holy Prophet) said: If you survive them, then do such a deed by means of which you seek the pleasure of Allah, but you would increase in your status (in religion) and prestige; you may survive so that people would benefit from you, and others would be harmed by you. (The Holy Prophet) further said: Allah, complete for my Companions their migration, and not cause them to turn back upon their heels. Sa'd b. Khaula is, however, unfortunate. Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt grief for him as he had died in Mecca.

On the authority of his father (Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas): When he (Sa'd) fell ill at Mecca (according to the version of Ibn Abi Kkalaf) - then the agreed version has: which brought him near to death - the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to visit him. He said: Messenger of Allah, I have a large amount of property, and my daughter is my only heir. May I give two-thirds (of my property) as a sadaqah (charity)? He said: No. He asked: Then a half ? He replied: No. He asked: Then one-third ? He replied: (You may will away) a third and third is a lot. To leave your heirs rich is better than to leave them poor begging from people. You will not spend anything, seeking thereby to please Allah, without being rewarded for it, even the mouthful you give your wife. I said: Messenger of Allah, shall I be left behind form immigration (to Medina)? He said: If you remain behind after me and do good works seeking the pleasure of Allah, your rank will be raised and degree increased. Perhaps you will not remain behind, and some people will benefit from you and others will be harmed by you. He then said: O Allah, complete the immigration of my Companions and do not turn them back. But miserable was Sa'd b. Khawlah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ lamented on him as he died at Mecca.

tirmidhi:2116Ibn Abū ʿUmar > Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah > al-Zuhrī > ʿĀmir b. Saʿd b. Abū Waqqāṣ from his father

"I was ill during the year of the Conquest (of Makkah) with an illness bringing me to the brink of death. So The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit me, and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Indeed I have a great deal of wealth and I do not have any heirs except my daughter, so should I will all of my wealth?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'Then two-thirds of my wealth?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'Then half?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'Then a third' He said: 'No.' A third and a third is too much. If you leave your heirs without need it is better than to leave them in poverty begging from the people. Indeed you do not do any spending (on your family) except that you are rewarded for it, even the morsel of food you raise to your wife's mouth.'" He said: "I said: 'Will I be left behind from my emigration?' He said: 'You will not be left behind after me,and do righteous deeds intending Allah's Face, except that it will add to your elevation in rank. Perhaps you will remain until some people benefit from you and others will be harmed by you. O Allah! Complete the emigration of my companions and do not turn them on their heels. But the case of Sa'd bin Khawlah is sad.'" the Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt sorry for him dying in Makkah.

malik:37-4Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > ʿĀmir b. Saʿd b. Abū Waqqāṣ from his father

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Amir ibn Sad ibn Abi Waqqas that his father said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me to treat me for a pain which became hard to bear in the year of the farewell hajj. I said, 'Messenger of Allah, you can see how far the pain has reached me. I have property and only my daughter inherits from me. Shall I give two thirds of my property as sadaqa?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No.' I said, 'Half?' He said, 'No.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'A third, and a third is a lot. Leaving your heirs rich is better than leaving them poor to beg from people. You never spend anything on maintenance desiring the Face of Allah by it, but that you are rewarded for it, even what you appoint for your wife.' Sad said, 'Messenger of Allah, will I be left here in Makka after my companions have departed for Madina?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If you are left behind, and do sound deeds you will increase your degree and elevation by them. Perhaps you will be left behind so that some people may benefit by you and others may be harmed by you. O Allah! complete their hijra for my companions, and do not turn them back on their heels. The unfortunate one is Said ibn Khawla.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was distressed on his account for he had died at Makka." Yahya said that he heard Malik speak about a man who willed a third of his property to a man and said as well, "My slave will serve so-and-so (another man) for as long as he lives, then he is free," then that was looked into, and the slave was found to be a third of the property of the deceased. Malik said, "The service of the slave is evaluated. Then the two of them divide it between them. The one who was willed a third takes his third, as a share, and the one who was willed the service of the slave takes what was evaluated for him of the slave's service. Each of them takes, from the service of the slave or from his wage if he has a wage, according to his share. If the one who was given the service of the slave for as long as he lived dies, then the slave is freed." Yahya said that he heard Malik speak about someone who willed his third and said "So-and-so has such- and-such, and so-and-so has such-and-such," naming some of his property, and his heirs protested that it was more than a third." Malik said, "The heirs then have an option between giving the beneficiaries their full bequests and taking the rest of the property of the deceased, or between dividing among the beneficiaries the third of the property of the deceased and surrendering to them their third. If they wish, their rights in it reach as far as they reach."

أنَّهُ قالَ: جاءَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي عامَ حَجَّةِ الوَداعِ. مِن وجَعٍ اشْتَدَّ بِي. فَقُلْتُ: يا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ بَلَغَ بِي مِنَ الوَجَعِ ما تَرى. وأنا ذُو مالٍ. ولا يَرِثُنِي إلّا ابْنَةٌ لِي. أفَأتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثَيْ مالِي؟ قالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «لا»، فَقُلْتُ: فالشَّطْرُ؟ قالَ: «لا»، ثُمَّ قالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «الثُّلُثُ، والثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ، إنَّكَ أنْ تَذَرَ ورَثَتَكَ أغْنِياءَ، خَيْرٌ مِن أنْ تَذَرَهُمْ عالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النّاسَ. وإنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً تَبْتَغِي بِها وجْهَ اللَّهِ، إلّا أُجِرْتَ. حَتّى ما تَجْعَلُ فِي فِي امْرَأتِكَ» قالَ، فَقُلْتُ: يا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أأُخَلَّفُ بَعْدَ أصْحابِي؟ فَقالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إنَّكَ لَنْ تُخَلَّفَ، فَتَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا صالِحًا، إلّا ازْدَدْتَ بِهِ دَرَجَةً ورِفْعَةً، ولَعَلَّكَ أنْ تُخَلَّفَ حَتّى يَنْتَفِعَ بِكَ أقْوامٌ ويُضَرَّ بِكَ آخَرُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ أمْضِ لِأصْحابِي هِجْرَتَهُمْ، ولا تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلى أعْقابِهِمْ. لَكِنِ البائِسُ سَعْدُ بْنُ خَوْلَةَ. يَرْثِي لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أنْ ماتَ بِمَكَّةَ» قالَ يَحْيى: سَمِعْتُ مالِكًا يَقُولُ: فِي الرَّجُلِ يُوصِي بِثُلُثِ مالِهِ لِرَجُلٍ. ويَقُولُ غُلامِي يَخْدُمُ فُلانًا ما عاشَ. ثُمَّ هُوَ حُرٌّ. فَيُنْظَرُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَيُوجَدُ العَبْدُ ثُلُثَ مالِ المَيِّتِ. قالَ: «فَإنَّ خِدْمَةَ العَبْدِ تُقَوَّمُ، ثُمَّ يَتَحاصّانِ. يُحاصُّ الَّذِي أُوصِيَ لَهُ بِالثُّلُثِ بِثُلُثِهِ. ويُحاصُّ الَّذِي أُوصِيَ لَهُ بِخِدْمَةِ العَبْدِ. بِما قُوِّمَ لَهُ مِن خِدْمَةِ العَبْدِ، فَيَأْخُذُ كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنهُما مِن خِدْمَةِ العَبْدِ، أوْ مِن إجارَتِهِ، إنْ كانَتْ لَهُ إجارَةٌ، بِقَدْرِ حِصَّتِهِ. فَإذا ماتَ الَّذِي جُعِلَتْ لَهُ خِدْمَةُ العَبْدِ ما عاشَ، عَتَقَ العَبْدُ» قالَ: وسَمِعْتُ مالِكًا يَقُولُ، فِي الَّذِي يُوصِي فِي ثُلُثِهِ فَيَقُولُ لِفُلانٍ كَذا وكَذا ولِفُلانٍ كَذا وكَذا يُسَمِّي مالًا مِن مالِهِ فَيَقُولُ ورَثَتُهُ قَدْ زادَ عَلى ثُلُثِهِ: «فَإنَّ الوَرَثَةَ يُخَيَّرُونَ بَيْنَ أنْ يُعْطُوا أهْلَ الوَصايا وصاياهُمْ ويَأْخُذُوا جَمِيعَ مالِ المَيِّتِ وبَيْنَ أنْ يَقْسِمُوا لِأهْلِ الوَصايا ثُلُثَ مالِ المَيِّتِ فَيُسَلِّمُوا إلَيْهِمْ ثُلُثَهُ فَتَكُونُ حُقُوقُهُمْ فِيهِ إنْ أرادُوا بالِغًا ما بَلَغَ»

That his father said, "In the year of the last Hajj of the Prophet ﷺ I became seriously ill and the Prophet ﷺ used to visit me inquiring about my health. I told him, 'I am reduced to this state because of illness and I am wealthy and have no inheritors except a daughter, (In this narration the name of 'Amir bin Saʿd is mentioned and in fact it is a mistake; the narrator is ʿAisha bint Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas). Should I give two-thirds of my property in charity?' He said, 'No.' I asked, 'Half?' He said, 'No.' then he added, 'Onethird, and even one-third is much. You'd better leave your inheritors wealthy rather than leaving them poor, begging others. You will get a reward for whatever you spend for Allah's sake, even for what you put in your wife's mouth.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Will I be left alone after my companions have gone?' He said, 'If you are left behind, whatever good deeds you will do will upgrade you and raise you high. And perhaps you will have a long life so that some people will be benefited by you while others will be harmed by you. O Allah! Complete the emigration of my companions and do not turn them renegades.' But Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt sorry for poor Saʿd bin Khaula as he died in Mecca." (but Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas lived long after the Prophet ﷺ.) (Using translation from Bukhārī 1295)  

ابن حبّان:٦٠٢٦أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

On the authority of his father (Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas): When he (Sa'd) fell ill at Mecca (according to the version of Ibn Abi Kkalaf) - then the agreed version has: which brought him near to death - the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to visit him. He said: Messenger of Allah, I have a large amount of property, and my daughter is my only heir. May I give two-thirds (of my property) as a sadaqah (charity)? He said: No. He asked: Then a half ? He replied: No. He asked: Then one-third ? He replied: (You may will away) a third and third is a lot. To leave your heirs rich is better than to leave them poor begging from people. You will not spend anything, seeking thereby to please Allah, without being rewarded for it, even the mouthful you give your wife. I said: Messenger of Allah, shall I be left behind form immigration (to Medina)? He said: If you remain behind after me and do good works seeking the pleasure of Allah, your rank will be raised and degree increased. Perhaps you will not remain behind, and some people will benefit from you and others will be harmed by you. He then said: O Allah, complete the immigration of my Companions and do not turn them back. But miserable was Sa'd b. Khawlah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ lamented on him as he died at Mecca. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2864)

In the year of Hajjat-ul-Wadaʿ the Prophet ﷺ visited me when I fell ill and was about to die because of that illness. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I am very ill as you see, and I am a rich man and have no heir except my only daughter. Shall I give 2/3 of my property in charity?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I then give one half of it in charity?" He said, "O Saʿd! Give 1/3 (in charity) and even 1/3 is too much. No doubt, it is better to leave your children rich than to leave them poor, reduced to begging from others. And Allah will reward you for whatever you spend with the intention of gaining Allah's Pleasure even if it were a mouthful of food you put into your wives mouth." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Am I to be left behind (in Mecca) after my companions have gone?" He said, "If you should be left behind, you will be upgraded and elevated for every deed you will do with a desire to achieve Allah's Pleasure. I hope that you will live long so that some people will benefit by you while others will be harmed. O Allah! Please fulfill the migration of my companions and do not make them turn back on their heels. But (we feel sorry for) the unlucky Saʿd bin Khaulah." Messenger of Allah ﷺ lamented his death in Mecca.

[Machine] He said, "I fell ill in the year of the conquest, and I recovered from it. Then the Prophet ﷺ came to visit me, so I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have a lot of wealth and no one will inherit it except for my daughter. Should I bequeath all my wealth?' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Then should I bequeath half of it?' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Then should I bequeath one third of it?' He said, 'One third, and one third is still a lot. Indeed, if you leave your heirs wealthy, it is better than leaving them dependent on others for their needs. Perhaps you will be rewarded for all your expenses, even the morsel of food that you raise to feed your wife.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I fear dying in a land that I have migrated from.' He said, 'Perhaps you will remain alive so that a group of people will benefit from you, while others will be harmed by you. O Allah, complete the migration of my companions, and do not return them in a state of humiliation. But the unfortunate one is Saad ibn Khawla, who mourned that he died in Makkah in the year 12568.' Abu Al-Husayn Ibn Bishran informed us that Isma'il ibn Muhammad Al-Saffar narrated to him from Zakariya ibn Yahya ibn Rashid, who narrated it from Sufyan, and he mentioned it in a similar manner, except that he said, 'Indeed, whenever you spend something, you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel of food that you raise to feed your wife.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, will I be left behind in my migration?' He said, 'You will not be left behind after me as long as you do deeds seeking Paradise. Rather, you will increase in ranks and status. Perhaps you will be left behind so that some people will benefit from you, while others will be harmed by you.' Then he mentioned the rest in a similar manner."

The Prophet ﷺ came visiting me while I was (sick) in Mecca, ('Amir the sub-narrator said, and he disliked to die in the land, whence he had already migrated). He (i.e. the Prophet) said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on Ibn Afra (Saʿd bin Khaula)." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! May I will all my property (in charity)?" He said, "No." I said, "Then may I will half of it?" He said, "No". I said, "One third?" He said: "Yes, one third, yet even one third is too much. It is better for you to leave your inheritors wealthy than to leave them poor begging others, and whatever you spend for Allah's sake will be considered as a charitable deed even the handful of food you put in your wife's mouth. Allah may lengthen your age so that some people may benefit by you, and some others be harmed by you." At that time Saʿd had only one daughter. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2742)

"الثُّلثُ والثلثُ كَثيرٌ إِنَّكَ إِنْ تذرْ وَرَثَتَكَ أغْنياءَ خيرٌ مِنْ أنْ تَدرَهُمْ عَالةً يتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ، وَإنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَةً تَبْتَغِى بِهَا وَجْهَ اللهِ إِلَّا أُجِرت بِهَا حَتَّى مَا تجعلُ فِي امرأتك".

مالك ط، ش، حم، خ، م، د، ت، ن، هـ وابن حزيمة حب عن سعد " قال جاءَنى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعُودنُى عَام حجَّةِ الودَاع مِنْ وَجَع اشْتَدَّ بى، فَقُلتُ: يا رسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ بَلَغَ بِى من الوَجَعِ مَا تَرَى، وأَنَا ذُو مَالٍ وَلَا يَرِثُنى إِلَّا ابْنَة لِي، أفَاتَصَدَّقُ بثُلُثِىْ مَالى، قَال: لا. قُلتُ: فالشَّطرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قال: لَا. قُلتُ: فَالثُّلُثُ؟ قَال: الثُّلُثُ، وَذَكرهُ، فَقَال: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُخَلَّفُ عَنْ هِجرَتِى: قَال إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُخَلَّفَ بَعدى فَتَعمَلَ عَمَلًا تُرِيدُ بِهِ وجْهَ اللهِ إِلَّا ازددتَ به رَفَعة وَدَرجَةً ولعلك أن تَخَلَّفَ حَتَّى ينتفع بِكَ أقْوَامُ ويضَرُّ بكَ آخرون.  

اللَّهُمَّ أَمْض لأصْحابى هجْرَتَهُمْ وَلا تَرُدّهُمْ عَلَى أعْقَابهمْ، لكن البَائِسَ سَعدَ بْنُ خَوْلَةَ يَرْثى له رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أن ماتَ بمَكَّة"
