حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ أَنَّ سَعْدًا قَالَ
لِابْنِهِ حِينَ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ «يَا بُنَيَّ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَلْقَى أَحَدًا هُوَ أَنْصَحُ لَكَ مِنِّي إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ ثُمَّ صَلِّ صَلَاةً لَا تَرَى أَنَّكَ تُصَلِّي بَعْدَهَا وَإِيَّاكَ وَالطَّمَعَ فَإِنَّهُ فَقْرٌ حَاضِرٌ وَعَلَيْكَ بِالْيَأْسِ فَإِنَّهُ الْغِنَى وَإِيَّاكَ وَمَا يُعْتَذَرُ مِنْهُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ وَالْقَوْلِ وَاعْمَلْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ»

✧ To his son when death came to him: “O my son, you will never meet anyone more sincere to you than I am. When you want to pray, perform your ablution well, then pray a prayer such that you do not think you will pray after it. Beware of greed, for it is present poverty. And cling to despair [of what people have], for that is wealth. Beware of doing or saying anything for which you would have to apologize. Do what seems right to you.”
