أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
اشْتَكَيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ حَتَّى إِذَا أُدْنِفْتُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أُرَانِي إِلَّا أُلِمَّ بِي وَأَنَا ذُو مَالٍ كَثِيرٍ وَإِنَّمَا يَرِثُنِي ابْنَةٌ لِي أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا» قُلْتُ فَنِصْفِهِ قَالَ «لَا» قُلْتُ فَالثُّلُثِ؟ قَالَ «الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَتْرُكْ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْرُكَهُمْ فُقَرَاءَ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَإِنَّكَ لَا تُنْفِقُ نَفَقَةً إِلَّا آجَرَكَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا حَتَّى مَا تَجْعَلُ فِي فِي امْرَأَتِكَ»

✧ I fell ill along with the Prophet ﷺ during the Farewell Pilgrimage, until I became seriously ill. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me to visit me, so I said, “O Messenger of Allah, I think that I am dying, and I have a lot of wealth, and none will inherit from me except a daughter of mine. Should I give all my wealth in charity?” He said, “No.” I said, “Then half of it?” He said, “No.” I said, “Then a third?” He said, “A third, and a third is a lot. If you leave your heirs wealthy, it is better than leaving them poor, begging people with their hands. And you do not spend any expenditure except that Allah rewards you for it, even the morsel you put into your wife’s mouth.”
