If you leave your heirs wealthy, it is better for you than leaving them poor, begging from people. You will not spend any expenditure seeking thereby the Face of Allah but 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: If you are left behind after me and you do a deed seeking thereby the Face of Allah and the abode of the Hereafter, you will be rewarded or raised a degree thereby. Perhaps you will be left behind until some people benefit by you and others are harmed by you. O Allah, complete the emigration of my companions and do not turn them back on their heels.

He said: My mother said: "Do you not claim that God commands you to maintain ties of kinship and be dutiful to parents? By God, I will not eat food or drink drink until you disbelieve." So she would not eat food or drink drink, and when they wanted to feed her, they would pry open her mouth with a stick and put food and drink into it. Then this verse was revealed: "And We have enjoined upon man goodness to his parents; but if they strive to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, then do not obey them" [Q 29:8]. The Messenger of God ﷺ came in to me while I was ill, and I said: "Shall I bequeath all of my wealth?" He said: "No." I said: "Half?" He forbade me. I said: "A third?"

Ṣubābah, the people caught him in the market and killed him. As for ʿIkrimah b. Abī Jahl, he set sail on the sea, and they were struck by a storm. The people of the ship said: "Be sincere, for your deities will not avail you anything." ʿIkrimah said: "If nothing saves me in the sea except sincerity, then nothing other than it will save me on land. O God, I make a covenant with You: if You deliver me from what I am in, I will surely go to Muḥammad and place my hand in his hand." He said: So he accepted Islam. He said: As for ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Sarḥ, ʿUthmān interceded for him. When the Messenger of God ﷺ called the people to pledge allegiance, he brought him and stood him before the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of God, accept the pledge of ʿAbd Allāh." He raised his head and looked at him, refusing each time, then accepted his pledge after three times. Then he turned and praised God and extolled Him, and said: "Was there not among you a rightly guided man who, when he saw me withhold my hand from his pledge, would kill him?" They said: "O Messenger of God, if only you had signaled to us with your eyes." He said: "It is not proper for a prophet to have a deceitful look."

O Allah, make his shot accurate. Go on, Sa'd, may my father and mother be your ransom."
