أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
مَرِضْتُ بِمَكَّةَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ مَرَضًا أَشْفَيْتُ مِنْهُ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ فَعَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَيْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي مَالًا كَثِيرًا وَلَيْسَ يَرِثُنِي إِلَّا ابْنَتِي أَفَأُوصِي بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي؟ قَالَ «لَا» قُلْتُ الشَّطْرُ؟ قَالَ «لَا» قُلْتُ الثُّلُثُ؟ قَالَ «الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَتْرُكَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْرُكَهُمْ عَالَةَ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً تُرِيدُ بِهَا وَجْهَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا أُجِرْتَ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةَ تَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى فِي امْرَأَتِكَ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُخَلَّفُ عَنْ هِجْرَتِي قَالَ «إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُخَلَّفَ بَعْدِي فَتَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا تُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا ازْدَدْتَ بِهِ رِفْعَةً وَدَرَجَةً وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُخَلَّفَ بَعْدِي حَتَّى يَنْتَفِعَ أَقْوَامٌ بِكَ وَيُضَرَّ بِكَ آخَرُونَ اللَّهُمَّ امْضِ لِأَصْحَابِي هِجْرَتَهُمْ وَلَا تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ لَكِنِ الْبَائِسُ سَعْدُ بْنُ خَوْلَةَ يَرْثِي لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ مَاتَ بِمَكَّةَ»

✧ I fell ill in Makkah in the year of the conquest with an illness that brought me close to death. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited me, so I said to him: O Messenger of Allah, I have abundant wealth and no one inherits from me except my daughter. Shall I bequeath two-thirds of my wealth? He said: "No." I said: Half? He said: "No." I said: A third? He said: "A third, and a third is much. If you leave your heirs wealthy, it is better than leaving them poor, begging from people. You will never spend an expenditure seeking thereby the face 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 and then do a deed seeking thereby the face of Allah except that you will increase in elevation and degree. Perhaps you will be left behind after me until some people benefit by you and others are harmed by you. O Allah, carry out for my companions their emigration and do not turn them back on their heels. But the unfortunate one is Sa'd b. Khawlah—the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grieved for him because he died in Makkah."

يرويه الزهري وهو صحيح عنه ورواه سعد بن إبراهيم فاختلف عنه فيه فرواه الثوري عن سعد عن عامر بن سعد عن أبيه وقال مسعر عن سعد حدثني بعض آل سعد عن سعد وهو صحيح عن عامر بن سعد عن أبيه من رواية الزهري ومن رواية سعد بن إبراهيم
machine translationAl-Zuhrī narrates it, and it is sound (ṣaḥīḥ) from him. Saʿd b. Ibrāhīm also narrated it, and there is disagreement about him concerning it: al-Thawrī narrated it from Saʿd, from ʿĀmir b. Saʿd, from his father; and Misʿar said, from Saʿd: "Some of the family of Saʿd narrated to me, from Saʿd." And it is sound (ṣaḥīḥ) from ʿĀmir b. Saʿd, from his father, through the narration of al-Zuhrī and through the narration of Saʿd b. Ibrāhīm.
