حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ، عَنْ ثَلاثَةٍ، مِنْ وَلَدِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ يَعُودُهُ وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ، وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَمُوتَ بِالْأَرْضِ الَّتِي هَاجَرْتُ مِنْهَا كَمَا مَاتَ سَعْدُ ابْنُ خَوْلَةَ، فَادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَشْفِيَنِي. قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ اشْفِ سَعْدًا، اللهُمَّ اشْفِ سَعْدًا، اللهُمَّ اشْفِ سَعْدًا " فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ لِي مَالًا كَثِيرًا وَلَيْسَ لِي وَارِثٌ إِلا ابْنَةً. أَفَأُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ؟ قَالَ: " لَا ". قَالَ: أَفَأُوصِي بِثُلُثَيْهِ؟ قَالَ: " لَا ". قَالَ: أَفَأُوصِي بِنِصْفِهِ؟ قَالَ: " لَا " قَالَ: أَفَأُوصِي بِالثُّلُثِ؟ قَالَ: " الثُّلُثُ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ، إِنَّ نَفَقَتَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَإِنَّ نَفَقَتَكَ عَلَى عِيَالِكَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَإِنَّ نَفَقَتَكَ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَإِنَّكَ أَنْ تَدَعَ أَهْلَكَ بِعَيْشٍ - أَوْ قَالَ بِخَيْرٍ - خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَدَعَهُمْ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ " (١)، ،

It was narrated from Sa’d that
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon him to visit him when he was sick, when he was in Makkah. He said: “O Messenger of Allah, I am afraid that I will die in the land from which I migrated as Sa"d bin Khawlah died. Pray to Allah to heal me.” He said: “O Allah, heal Sa"d, O Allah, heal Sa"d, O Allah, heal Sa"d." He said: “O Messenger of Allah, I have a great deal of wealth, and I have no heir except one daughter. Can I bequeath all my wealth (to charity)?” He said: “No." He said: “Can I bequeath two thirds of it?” He said: “No,ʻʼ He said: “Can I bequeath half of it?” He said: “No." He said: “Can I bequeath one third?” He said: “One third, and one third is a lot. If you spend from your wealth, it is a charity for you; if you spend from your wealth on your dependents, it is a charity for you; if you spend from your wealth on your family, it is a charity for you. If you leave your family something that is enough for them to live on that is better than leaving them to ask people for help.”
