Hadith 3656
أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : مَرِضْتُ مَرَضًا أَشْفَيْتُ مِنْهُ ، فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ لِي مَالًا كَثِيرًا وَلَيْسَ يَرِثُنِي إِلَّا ابْنَتِي ، أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " ، قُلْتُ : فَالشَّطْرَ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " ، قُلْتُ : فَالثُّلُثَ ؟ قَالَ : " الثُّلُثَ ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَتْرُكَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْرُكَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ " .
´It was narrated from 'Amir bin Sa'd that his father said:` "I became ill with a sickness from which I later recovered. The Messenger of Allah came to visit me, and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have a great deal of wealth and I have no heir except my daughter. Shall I give two-thirds of my wealth in charity?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'Half?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'One-third?' He said: '(Give) one-third, and one-third is a lot. It is better to leave your heirs independent of means, than to leave them poor and holding out their hands to people.'"
