the Fire and from the evil of the affliction of wealth; and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of
poverty, and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of Al-Mesiah Ad-Dajjal. O Allah! Wash away
my sins with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from all the sins as a white garment is
cleansed from the filth, and let there be a long distance between me and my sins, as You made East
and West far from each other.”

Narrated ‘Amir bin Sa’d:
that his father said, “In the year of Hajjatal-Wada’, the Prophet paid me a visit while I was suffer –
ing from an ailment that had brought me to the verge of death. I said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! My sickness
has reduced me to the (bad) state as you see, and I am a rich man, but have no heirs except one
daughter. Shall I give 2/3 of my property in charity?’ He said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘Then 1/2 of it?’ He said,
‘Even 1/3 is too much, for, to leave your inheritors wealthy is better than to leave them in poverty,
begging from people. And (know that) whatever you spend in Allah’s Cause, you will get reward for
it, even for the morsel of food which you put in your wife’s mouth.’ I said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Will I be
left behind my companions (in Mecca)?’ He said, ‘If you remain behind, whatever good deed you will
do for Allah’s Sake, will raise and upgrade you to a higher position (in Allah’s Sight). May be you will
live longer so that some people may benefit by you, and some e others (pagans) may get harmed by
you. O Allah! Complete the migration of my companions and do not turn them on their heels; But
(we pity) the poor Sa’d bin Khaula (not the above mentioned Sa’d) (died in Mecca)” Allah’s Apostle
lamented (or pitied) for him as he died in Mecca. (See Hadith No. 693, Vol. 5)

‘ala Ibrahima wa barik ‘ala Muhammadin wa all Muhammadin kama barakta ‘ala Ibrahima wa Ali
