I became seriously ill at Mecca and the Prophet came to visit me. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I shall
leave behind me a good fortune, but my heir is my only daughter; shall I bequeath two third of my
property to be spent in charity and leave one third (for my heir)?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I be –
queath half and leave half?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I bequeath one third and leave two thirds?"
He said, "One third is alright, though even one third is too much." Then he placed his hand on his
forehead and passed it over my face and abdomen and said, "O Allah! Cure Sad and complete his
emigration." I feel as if I have been feeling the coldness of his hand on my liver ever since.
