I said: '0 Messenger of Allah, you can see how bad my sickness is, and I am wealthy, and no one will inherit from me except one daughter of 41 mine. Can I give two-thirds of my wealth in charity?' He said: 'No.' L ft I said: 'Can I give half of it in (( Ji L L L Lfli charity?' He said: 'No. (Give) one-third, and one-third is a lot. If you leave your heirs rich and wealthy, that is better for them j-0 'IU51' than leaving them dependent and e j x J1 asking from people. You will never spend on maintenance, JA L7 seeking thereby the Face of Allah, but you will be rewarded Lc' 4-j f for it, even a morsel that you put in your wife's mouth.'

How unfortunate Sa'd bin Khawlah was." He said: "The Messenger of Allah il felt sorry for him because he died in Makkah."
