illness and I am wealthy and have no inheritors except a daughter, (In this narration the name of
‘Amir bin Sad is mentioned and in fact it is a mistake; the narrator is ‘Aisha bint Sad bin Abi Waqqas).
Should I give two-thirds of my property in charity?’ He said, ‘No.’ I asked, ‘Half?’ He said, ‘No.’ then he
added, ‘One-third, and even one-third is much. You’d better leave your inheritors wealthy rather
than leaving them poor, begging others. You will get a reward for whatever you spend for Allah’s
sake, even for what you put in your wife’s mouth.’ I said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Will I be left alone after
my companions have gone?’ He said, ‘If you are left behind, whatever good deeds you will do will
up-grade you and raise you high. And perhaps you will have a long life so that some people will be
benefited by you while others will be harmed by you. O Allah! Complete the emigration of my com –
panions and do not turn them renegades.’ But Allah’s Apostle felt sorry for poor Sad bin Khaula as he
died in Mecca.” (but Sad bin Abi Waqqas lived long after the Prophet (p.b.u.h).)
