حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ، فَمَرِضْتُ مَرَضًا أَشْفَيْتُ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، فَعَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ لِي مَالًا كَثِيرًا وَلَيْسَ يَرِثُنِي إِلا ابْنَةٌ لِي، أَفَأُوصِي بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي؟ قَالَ: " لَا " قُلْتُ: بِشَطْرِ مَالِي؟ قَالَ: " لَا " قُلْتُ: فَثُلُثُ مَالِي؟ قَالَ: " الثُّلُثُ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ، إِنَّكَ يَا سَعْدُ أَنْ تَدَعَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ تَدَعَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ، إِنَّكَ يَا سَعْدُ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً تَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَجْهَ اللهِ إِلا أُجِرْتَ عَلَيْهَا، حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةَ تَجْعَلُهَا فِي فِي امْرَأَتِكَ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُخَلَّفُ بَعْدَ أَصْحَابِي؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَتَخَلَّفَ فَتَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا تَبْتَغِي بِهِ وَجْهَ اللهِ، إِلا ازْدَدْتَ بِهِ دَرَجَةً وَرِفْعَةً، وَلَعَلَّكَ تُخَلَّفُ حَتَّى يَنْفَعَ اللهُ بِكَ أَقْوَامًا، وَيَضُرَّ بِكَ آخَرِينَ، اللهُمَّ أَمْضِ لِأَصْحَابِي هِجْرَتَهُمْ، وَلا تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ، لَكِنِ الْبَائِسُ سَعْدُ ابْنُ خَوْلَةَ " رَثَى لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ مَاتَ بِمَكَّةَ (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It was narrated from "Amir bin Sa"d bin Abi Waqqas that his father said:

I was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the Farewell Pilgrimage, and I fell sick and almost died. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) visited me and I said:O Messenger of Allah, I have a great deal of wealth, and no one will inherit from me except a daughter of mine, Can I bequeath two thirds of my wealth (to charity)? He said: “No." I said: One half? He said: “No." I said: One third of my wealth? He said: "One third, and a third is a lot. O Sa"d, if you leave your heirs independent of means, that is better for you than if you leave them poor and asking from people. O Sa"d, you will never spend anything, seeking thereby the Countenance of Allah, may He be exalted, but you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel that you put in your wife"s mouth." I said: O Messenger of Allah, will I be left behind by my companions? He said: “You will never be left behind by them and do a good deed, seeking thereby the Countenance of Allah, but it will increase you in status. Perhaps you will stay behind so that Allah may benefit some people through you and harm others. O Allah, complete the migration (hijrah) of my Companions and do not cause them to turn back on their heels. But Sa"d bir Khawlah is the tone who is truly unfortunate." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) felt sorry for him, and he died in Makkah.
