Narrated ‘Aisha:
‘Utba (bin Abi Waqqas) said to his brother Sa’d, “The son of the slave girl of Zam’a is my son, so be
his custodian.” So when it was the year of the Conquest of Mecca, Sa’d took that child and said, “He is
my nephew, and my brother told me to be his custodian.” On that, ‘Abu bin Zam’a got up and said,
‘but the child is my brother, and the son of my father’s slave girl as he was born on his bed.” So they
both went to the Prophet. Sa’d said, “O Allah’s Apostle! (This is) the son of my brother and he told me
to be his custodian.” Then ‘Abu bin Zam’a said, “(But he is) my brother and the son of the slave girl of
my father, born on his bed.” The Prophet said, “This child is for you. O ‘Abu bin Zam’a, as the child is
for the owner of the bed, and the adulterer receives the stones.” He then ordered (his wife) Sauda bint
Zam’a to cover herself before that boy as he noticed the boy’s resemblance to ‘Utba. Since then the
boy had never seen Sauda till he died.

Volume 8, Book 80, Number 725:
Narrated Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas:
I was stricken by an ailment that led me to the verge of death. The Prophet came to pay me a visit.
I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have much property and no heir except my single daughter. Shall I give
two-thirds of my property in charity?” He said, “No.” I said, “Half of it?” He said, “No.” I said, “One-
third of it?” He said, “You may do so) though one-third is also to a much, for it is better for you to
leave your off-spring wealthy than to leave them poor, asking others for help. And whatever you
spend (for Allah’s sake) you will be rewarded for it, even for a morsel of food which you may put in
the mouth of your wife.” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Will I remain behind and fail to complete my
emigration?” The Prophet said, “If you are left behind after me, whatever good deeds you will do for
Allah’s sake, that will upgrade you and raise you high. May be you will have long life so that some
people may benefit by you and others (the enemies) be harmed by you.” But Allah’s Apostle felt sorry
