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
