Hadith 1546

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : مَرِضْتُ بِمَكَّةَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ مَرَضًا شَدِيدًا أَشْفَيْتُ مِنْهُ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ ، فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ لِي مَالًا كَثِيرًا ، وَلَيْسَ يَرِثُنِي إِلَّا ابْنَتِي ، أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي ؟ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً : أَتَصَدَّقُ بِمَالِي كله ؟ ، قَالَ : " لَا " ، قَالَ : فَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي ؟ ، قَالَ : " لَا " ، قُلْتُ : فَالشَّطْرُ ؟ ، قَالَ : " لَا " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : الثُّلُثُ ، قَالَ : " الثُّلُثُ ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَبِيرٌ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَتْرُكَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْرُكَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ ، إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً إِلَّا أُجِرْتَ فِيهَا ، حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةَ تَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى فِي امْرَأَتِكَ " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أُخَلَّفُ عَنْ هِجْرَتِي ، قَالَ : " إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُخَلَّفَ بَعْدِي ، فَتَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا تُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ ، إِلَّا ازْدَدْتَ بِهِ رِفْعَةً وَدَرَجَةً ، وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُخَلَّفَ حَتَّى يَنْتَفِعَ بِكَ أَقْوَامٌ وَيُضَرَّ بِكَ آخَرُونَ ، اللَّهُمَّ أَمْضِ لِأَصْحَابِي هِجْرَتَهُمْ ، وَلَا تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ ، لَكِنْ الْبَائِسُ سَعْدُ ابْنُ خَوْلَةَ " يَرْثِي لَهُ أَنْ مَاتَ بِمَكَّةَ .
(Marfu‘ hadith) Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from ‘Amir ibn Sa‘d, from his father, who said: I fell seriously ill in Mecca in the year of the Conquest, to the point of approaching death. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to visit me. I said: O Messenger of Allah, I have much wealth, and none inherits from me except my daughter. Should I give two-thirds of my wealth in charity? Sufyan once said: Should I give all my wealth in charity? He said: "No." He said: Then should I give two-thirds of my wealth? He said: "No." I said: Then half? He said: "No." He said: I said: A third? He said: "A third, and a third is much. Indeed, if you leave your heirs wealthy, it is better than leaving them poor, begging from people. You will not spend anything in charity except that you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel you lift to your wife's mouth." I said: O Messenger of Allah, will I be left behind after my migration? He said: "You will not be left behind after me and do any deed seeking the Face of Allah except that you will increase thereby in rank and degree. And perhaps you will be left behind so that some people will benefit from you and others will be harmed by you. O Allah, complete the migration for my companions and do not turn them back on their heels, but the unfortunate one is Sa‘d ibn Khawlah," grieving for him that he died in Mecca.
