Musnad Ahmed

8. 'Musnad Abu Ishaq Sa''d bin Abi Waqqas'

مسند احمد

1524

Sahih (Darussalam) [, al-Bukhari (56) and Muslim (1628)

It was narrated from "Amir bin Sa"d bin Abi Waqqas that his father said:

I was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the Farewell Pilgrimage, and I fell sick and almost died. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) visited me and I said:O Messenger of Allah, I have a great deal of wealth, and no one will inherit from me except a daughter of mine, Can I bequeath two thirds of my wealth (to charity)? He said: “No." I said: One half? He said: “No." I said: One third of my wealth? He said: "One third, and a third is a lot. O Sa"d, if you leave your heirs independent of means, that is better for you than if you leave them poor and asking from people. O Sa"d, you will never spend anything, seeking thereby the Countenance of Allah, may He be exalted, but you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel that you put in your wife"s mouth." I said: O Messenger of Allah, will I be left behind by my companions? He said: “You will never be left behind by them and do a good deed, seeking thereby the Countenance of Allah, but it will increase you in status. Perhaps you will stay behind so that Allah may benefit some people through you and harm others. O Allah, complete the migration (hijrah) of my Companions and do not cause them to turn back on their heels. But Sa"d bir Khawlah is the tone who is truly unfortunate." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) felt sorry for him, and he died in Makkah.
