أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ فَمَرِضْتُ مَرَضًا أَشْفَى عَلَى الْمَوْتِ فَعَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي مَالًا كَثِيرًا وَلَيْسَ يَرِثُنِي إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ لِي أَفَأُوصِي بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي؟ قَالَ «لَا» قُلْتُ فَبِشَطْرِ مَالِي؟ قَالَ «لَا» قُلْتُ فَبِثُلُثِهِ؟ قَالَ «الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ إِنَّكَ يَا سَعْدُ أَنْ تَتْرُكَ وَرَثَتَكَ بِخَيْرٍ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْرُكَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ إِنَّكَ يَا سَعْدُ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً تَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَجْهَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا أُجِرْتَ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةَ تَجْعَلُهَا فِي فِيِّ امْرَأَتِكَ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُخَلَّفُ عَنْ أَصْحَابِي؟ قَالَ «إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُخَلَّفَ بَعْدِي فَتَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا تُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا ازْدَدْتَ بِهِ دَرَجَةً وَرِفْعَةً وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُخَلَّفَ بَعْدِي فَيَنْفَعَ اللَّهُ بِكَ أَقْوَامًا وَيُضَرُّ بِكَ آخَرِينَ اللَّهُمَّ أَمْضِ لِأَصْحَابِي هِجْرَتَهُمْ وَلَا تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ لَكِنَّ الْبَائِسَ سَعْدُ بْنُ خَوْلَةَ» رَثَى لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ مَاتَ بِمَكَّةَ

✧ I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Farewell Pilgrimage, and I fell ill with an illness that brought me near death. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited me, and I said: O Messenger of Allah, I have much wealth and no one inherits from me except a daughter. Should I bequeath two-thirds of my wealth? He said: 'No.' I said: Then half of my wealth? He said: 'No.' I said: Then a third of it? He said: 'A third, and a third is much. Indeed, O Sa'd, to leave your heirs wealthy is better for you than to leave 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 a morsel you put in your wife's mouth.' I said: O Messenger of Allah, will I be left behind after my companions? He said: 'You will never be left behind after me and perform a deed seeking thereby the face of Allah except that you will increase in degree and elevation by it. Perhaps you will be left behind after me, and Allah will benefit through you some people and harm others through you. O Allah, complete 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 expressed grief for him, as he had died in Makkah.
