حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

مَرِضْتُ بِمَكَّةَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ مَرَضًا شَدِيدًا، أَشْفَيْتُ مِنْهُ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ لِي مَالًا كَثِيرًا، وَلَيْسَ يَرِثُنِي إِلَّا ابْنَتِي، أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي؟ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً: أَتَصَدَّقُ بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي؟ قَالَ: لَا. قُلْتُ: فَالشَّطْرُ ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قُلْتُ: الثُّلُثُ؟ قَالَ: الثُّلُثُ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَبِيرٌ، إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَتْرُكَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْرُكَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ، إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً إِلَّا أُجِرْتَ فِيهَا، حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةَ تَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى فِي امْرَأَتِكَ. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أُخَلَّفُ عَنْ هِجْرَتِي؟ قَالَ: إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُخَلَّفَ بَعْدِي، فَتَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا تُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللهِ إِلَّا ازْدَدْتَ بِهِ رِفْعَةً وَدَرَجَةً، وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُخَلَّفَ حَتَّى يَنْتَفِعَ بِكَ أَقْوَامٌ، وَيُضَرَّ بِكَ آخَرُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ أَمْضِ لِأَصْحَابِي هِجْرَتَهُمْ، وَلَا تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ لَكِنِ الْبَائِسُ سَعْدُ بْنُ خَوْلَةَ يَرْثِي لَهُ أَنْ مَاتَ بِمَكَّةَ

✧ I fell ill in Makkah in the year of the conquest with a severe illness, and I was on the verge of death. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit me. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have much wealth, and no one will inherit from me except my daughter. Should I give two-thirds of my wealth as charity?' — and Sufyan said once: 'Should I give all my wealth as charity?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'Then a half?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'A third?' He said: 'A third, and a third is a lot. For you to leave your heirs wealthy is better than leaving them poor, begging from people. You will never spend anything seeking thereby the countenance of Allah except that you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel you raise to your wife's mouth.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will I be left behind after my emigration?' He said: 'You will not be left behind after me such that you do a deed seeking thereby the countenance of Allah except that you will increase in rank and degree. Perhaps you will be left behind until some people benefit through you and others are harmed through you. O Allah, complete the emigration of my companions and do not turn them back on their heels. But the wretched one is Sa'd b. Khawlah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ grieved for him that he died in Makkah.
