حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : جَاءَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَعُودُنِي عَامَ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ مِنْ وَجَعٍ اشْتَدَّ بِي ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، قَدْ بَلَغَ بِي مِنَ الْوَجَعِ مَا تَرَى ، وَأَنَا ذُو مَالٍ ، وَلَا يَرِثُنِي إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ لِي ، أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، قُلْتُ : فَشَطْرُهُ ؟ قَالَ : « لَا » ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : « الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَبِيرٌ - أَوْ كَثِيرٌ - إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَذَرَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ تَذَرَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ ، وَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً تَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَجْهَ اللهِ إِلَّا أُجِرْتَ فِيهَا ، حَتَّى مَا تَجْعَلُ فِي فِي امْرَأَتِكَ » . فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أُخَلَّفُ بَعْدَ أَصْحَابِي ؟ فَقَالَ : « إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُخَلَّفَ فَتَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا تَبْتَغِي بِهِ وَجْهَ اللهِ إِلَّا ازْدَدْتَ بِهِ دَرَجَةً وَرِفْعَةً ، وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُخَلَّفَ حَتَّى يَنْفَعَ بِكَ أَقْوَامًا وَيَضُرَّ بِكَ آخَرِينَ ، اللَّهُمَّ أَمْضِ لِأَصْحَابِي هِجْرَتَهُمْ وَلَا تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ ، لَكِنِ الْبَائِسُ سَعْدُ بْنُ خَوْلَةَ » يَرْثِي لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَامَ مَاتَ بِمَكَّةَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: In the year of the Farewell Hajj I was suffering from a severe illness, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit me. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, you can see how severe my illness has become. I am a man of wealth, and my only heir is one daughter. Shall I give two thirds of my wealth in charity?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." I said: "Then half?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." Then he said: "A third, and a third is a lot. If you leave your heirs rich, that is better than leaving them in need, stretching out their hands before people. And whatever you spend for the pleasure of Allah, you will be rewarded for it, even for the morsel you put into your wife's mouth." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, will I be left behind (in Makkah) after my companions (return to Madinah)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever good deed you do for the pleasure of Allah while left behind, your rank and standing will be raised by it. And perhaps you will live on until some peoples benefit from you and others are harmed." (Then he supplicated:) "O Allah, complete the emigration of my companions and do not turn them back on their heels." (Then he said:) "But the unfortunate one is Sa'd bin Khawlah." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was expressing sorrow for him because he died in Makkah.
