✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ entered upon me while I was ill and said to me: “Have you made a will?” I said: “Yes, I have bequeathed all my wealth.” He said: “What have you left for your children?” I said: “They are rich with good.” He said: “Bequeath a tenth.” He kept reducing and I kept reducing until he said: “Bequeath a third, and a third is a lot.”

مَرِضْتُ مَرَضًا أَشْفَيْتُ مِنْهُ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِي مَالًا كَثِيرًا، وَتَرِثُنِي ابْنَةٌ لِي وَاحِدَةٌ، أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ: " لَا قُلْتُ: أَتَصَدَّقُ بِالشَّطْرِ، أَوْ قَالَ: فَأُوصِي بِالشَّطْرِ ؟ فَقَالَ: " لَا "، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: فَبِمَ أُوصِي ؟ قَالَ: " الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ، إِنَّكَ لَأَنْ تَدَعَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَدَعَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ أَيْدِيَ النَّاسِ
✧ I fell ill with a sickness from which I nearly died, and the Messenger of God ﷺ entered upon me. I said: “O Messenger of God, I have abundant wealth, and only one daughter will inherit from me. Should I give all my wealth in charity?” He said: “No.” I said: “Should I give half in charity?” or he said: “Should I bequeath half?” He said: “No.” I said: “O Messenger of God, then what should I bequeath?” He said: “A third, and a third is a lot. If you leave your heirs rich, it is better than leaving them poor, begging from people’s hands.”

✧ I fell severely ill and was on the verge of death. The Messenger of God ﷺ came in to see me, and I said, “O Messenger of God, will I be left behind without my emigration?” He said, “You will not be left behind after me such that you do any deed seeking the face of God except that you will increase in rank and degree by it. Perhaps you will be left behind until some people benefit through you and others are harmed through you. O God, complete the emigration of my companions and do not turn them back on their heels. But the wretched one is Saʿd b. Khawlah.” The Messenger of God ﷺ was lamenting for him because he died in Makkah.

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ gave to some people and withheld from a man. Saʿd said, “O Messenger of God, by God, he is indeed a believer.” The Messenger of God ﷺ said, “Or a Muslim.” Then Saʿd said, “By God, I consider him a believer.” The Messenger of God ﷺ said, “Or a Muslim.” Then the Messenger of God ﷺ said, “I give to a man and leave one who is better than him, for fear that God, Mighty and Majestic, may cast him on his face into the Fire.”

✧ Saʿd ؓ heard a son of his saying, “O God, I ask You for Paradise and its chambers such-and-such, and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and its fetters and chains.” Saʿd said to him, “You have asked God for abundant good and sought refuge in Him from abundant evil”—or he said, “great evil”—“and I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: ‘There will be people who go to extremes in supplication. It is sufficient for you to say: O God, I ask You for all good, what I know of it and what I do not know, and I seek refuge in You from all evil, what I know of it and what I do not know.’”

نَزَلَتْ فِي أَبِي أَرْبَعُ آيَاتٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبِي: أَصَبْتُ سَيْفًا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، نَفِّلْنِيهِ، قَالَ: " ضَعْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخَذْتَهُ، ثُمَّ عَاوَدْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَأُتْرَكُ كَمَنْ لَا غَنَاءَ لَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " ضَعْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخَذْتَهُ " وَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ وَهِيَ فِي قِرَاءَةِ عَبْدِ اللهِ هَكَذَا: ( يَسْأَلُونَكَ الْأَنْفَالَ ) الْآيَةَ كُلَّهَا، قَالَ: وَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَعْدٍ: أَلَيْسَ قَدْ أَمَرَ اللهُ بِطَاعَةِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ ؟ فَلَا آكُلُ طَعَامًا، وَلَا أَشْرَبُ شَرَابًا حَتَّى تَكْفُرَ بِاللهِ، فَامْتَنَعَتْ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ حَتَّى جَعَلُوا يَشْجُرُونَ فَاهَا بِالْعَصَا، وَنَزَلَتْ وَوَصَّيْنَا الإِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا وَإِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلا تُطِعْهُمَا، وَصَنَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ طَعَامًا، فَدَعَا نَاسًا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، وَنَاسًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَأَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبْنَا حَتَّى سَكِرْنَا، ثُمَّ افْتَخَرْنَا، فَرَفَعَ رَجُلٌ لَحْيَ بَعِيرٍ فَفَزَرَ بِهِ أَنْفَ سَعْدٍ، فَكَانَ سَعْدٌ مَفْزُورَ الْأَنْفِ، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُحَرَّمَ الْخَمْرُ، فَنَزَلَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى وَنَزَلَتْ إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالأَنْصَابُ وَالأَزْلامُ رِجْسٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ الْآيَةَ، وَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى سَعْدٍ وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ، وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُوصِيَ بِمَالِهِ كُلِّهِ، فَجَعَلَ يُنَاقِصُهُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الثُّلُثَ، قَالَ: فَالنَّاسُ يُوصُونَ بِالثُّلُثِ
✧ Four verses were revealed concerning my father. He said: My father said: I acquired a sword on the day of Badr, and I brought it to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of God, give it to me as a share of spoil." He said, "Put it back where you took it from." I repeated, "Will I be left like one who has no use?" The Messenger of God ﷺ said, "Put it back where you took it from." Then this verse was revealed: "They ask you about the spoils of war"—and in the reading of ʿAbd Allāh it is thus: "They ask you for the spoils of war," the whole verse. He said: And the mother of Saʿd said, "Has not God commanded obedience to parents? I will not eat food or drink drink until you disbelieve in God." She abstained from food and drink until they had to pry her mouth open with a stick. Then it was revealed: "And We have enjoined upon man goodness to his parents; but if they strive with you to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them." A man of the Anṣār prepared food and invited some of the Muhājirūn and some of the Anṣār. We ate and drank until we became drunk, then we began boasting. A man raised the jawbone of a camel and struck Saʿd's nose with it, splitting it. Saʿd's nose was split. That was before wine was forbidden. Then it was revealed: "O you who believe, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated," and: "Wine, gambling, stone altars, and divining arrows are only defilement from the work of Satan," the verse. The Messenger of God ﷺ entered upon Saʿd while he was ill, and he wanted to bequeath all his wealth. He kept reducing it for him until he reached one-third. He said: The people bequeath one-third.

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ left ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib ؓ behind in the expedition of Tabūk. He said: O Messenger of God, do you leave me behind with the women and children? He said: Are you not pleased that you are to me as Hārūn was to Mūsā, except that there is no prophet after me?

✧ I wonder at the Muslim: when a calamity befalls him, he seeks reward and is patient; and when good befalls him, he praises God and gives thanks. Indeed, the Muslim is rewarded in everything, even in the morsel he raises to his mouth.

✧ I said: O Messenger of God, which people are most severely tried? He said: The prophets, then the next best, then the next best. A man is tried according to his religion. If his religion is firm, his trial is severe; and if there is weakness in his religion, he is tried accordingly—or to the extent of that. Tribulation does not cease with the servant until he walks upon the earth with no sin upon him.

" مَنْ أَخَذْتُمُوهُ يَقْطَعُ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَيْئًا - يَعْنِي شَجَرَ الْحَرَمِ - فَلَكُمْ سَلَبُهُ، لَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا، وَلَا يُقْطَعُ " قَالَ: فَرَأَى سَعْدٌ غِلْمَانًا يَقْطَعُونَ، فَأَخَذَ مَتَاعَهُمْ، فَانْتَهَوْا إِلَى مَوَالِيهِمْ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُمْ أَنَّ سَعْدًا فَعَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَأَتَوْهُ، فَقَالُوا: يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ، إِنَّ غِلْمَانَكَ - أَوْ مَوَالِيَكَ - أَخَذُوا مَتَاعَ غِلْمَانِنَا، فَقَالَ: بَلْ أَنَا أَخَذْتُهُ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ أَخَذْتُمُوهُ يَقْطَعُ مِنْ شَجَرِ الْحَرَمِ فَلَكُمْ سَلَبُهُ وَلَكِنْ سَلُونِي مِنْ مَالِي مَا شِئْتُمْ
✧ "Whomever you catch cutting something from the trees—meaning the trees of the Ḥaram—his spoils are yours. Its trees are not to be cut or chopped." Saʿd saw young men cutting, so he took their belongings. They went to their masters and told them that Saʿd had done such and such. They came to him and said: O Abā Isḥāq, your servant—or your clients—took the belongings of our servants. He said: Rather, I took it. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: Whomever you catch cutting from the trees of the Ḥaram, his spoils are yours. But ask me from my wealth whatever you wish.
