أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْكَبِيرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا بُكَيْرُ بْنُ مِسْمَارٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَامِرَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ اشْتَكَى بِمَكَّةَ ، فَجَاءَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ سَعْدٌ بَكَى ، وَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَمُوتُ بِالْأَرْضِ الَّتِي هَاجَرْتُ مِنْهَا ؟ قَالَ : " لَا ، إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ " ، وَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " ، قَالَ : يَعْنِي بِثُلُثَيْهِ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " ، قَالَ : فَنِصْفَهُ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " ، قَالَ : فَثُلُثَهُ ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الثُّلُثَ ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَتْرُكَ بَنِيكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْرُكَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ " .
´'Amir bin Sa'd (narrated) from his father that he fell sick in Makkah and the Messenger of Allah came to him. When Sa'd saw him, he wept and said:` "O Messenger of Allah, am I to die in the land from which I emigrated?" He said: "No, if Allah wills." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall I bequeath all of my wealth in the cause of Allah?" He said: "No." He said: "Two-thirds?" He said: "No." He said: "Half of it?" He said: "No." He said: "One-third of it?" The Messenger of Allah said: "One-third, and one-third is a lot. If you leave your sons independent of means that is better than if you leave them poor, holding out their hands to people."
