أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

مَرِضْتُ مَرَضًا أَشْفَيْتُ مِنْهُ فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِي مَالًا كَثِيرًا وَلَيْسَ يَرِثُنِي إِلَّا ابْنَتِي أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي؟ قَالَ «لَا» قُلْتُ فَالشَّطْرُ قَالَ «لَا» قُلْتُ فَالثُّلُثُ؟ قَالَ «الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَبِيرٌ إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَدَعَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْرُكَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ»

✧ I fell ill with an illness from which I was on the verge of death. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit me. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have much wealth and none will inherit from me except my daughter. May I give two-thirds of my wealth as charity?" He said, "No." I said, "Then half?" He said, "No." I said, "Then a third?" He said, "A third, and a third is a lot. That you leave your heirs wealthy is better for them than leaving them destitute, begging from people."
