Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Wills and Testaments- 25th Dhul-Hijja 1427 (16 January 2007)
Narrated Sad bin Abu Waqqas (Radhiallaho anho):
The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) came visiting me
while I was (sick) in Mecca, ('Amir (Radhiallaho anho) the
sub-narrator said, and he disliked to die in the land,
whence he had already migrated). He (i.e. the Prophet) said,
"May Allah bestow His Mercy on Ibn Afra (Sad bin Khaula
(Radhiallaho anho))." I said, "O Allah's Messenger! May I
will all my property (in charity)?" He said, "No." I said,
"Then may I will half of it?" He said, "No". I said, "One
third?" He said: "Yes, one third, yet even one third is too
much. It is better for you to leave your inheritors wealthy
than to leave them poor begging others, and whatever you
spend for Allah's sake will be considered as a charitable
deed even the handful of food you put in your wife's mouth.
Allah may lengthen your age so that some people may benefit
by you, and some others be harmed by you." At that time
Sad had only one daughter.
