Hadith 1474

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنِ الْجَعْدِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ بِنْتُ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ سَعْدٌ : اشْتَكَيْتُ شَكْوًى لِي بِمَكَّةَ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُ مَالًا ، وَلَيْسَ لِي إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ ، أَفَأُوصِي بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا الثُّلُثَ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " , قَالَ : أَفَأُوصِي بِالنِّصْفِ ، وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا النِّصْفَ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " , قَالَ : أَفَأُوصِي بِالثُّلُثِ وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا الثُّلُثَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ : " الثُّلُثُ ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ " , ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ ، قَالَ : فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ ، فَمَسَحَ وَجْهِي وَصَدْرِي وَبَطْنِي , وَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِ سَعْدًا ، وَأَتِمَّ لَهُ هِجْرَتَهُ " , فَمَا زِلْتُ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيَّ بِأَنِّي أَجِدُ بَرْدَ يَدِهِ عَلَى كَبِدِي حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I became ill in Makkah Mukarramah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to visit me. I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have a lot of wealth and my only heir is one daughter. Can I bequeath two-thirds of my wealth in the way of Allah? He said: “No.” I asked about half, but he still forbade it. Then when I asked about one-third of the wealth, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Yes! You may bequeath one-third, and even one-third is a lot (he said this three times).” Then he placed his hand on his forehead and passed it over my face, chest, and stomach, and prayed: “O Allah! Grant Sa’d healing, and complete his migration.” To this day, I feel the coolness of the hands of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in my liver.
