Amir b. Sa'd reported on the authority of his father (Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas): Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) visited me in my illness which brought me near death in the year of Hajjat-ul-Wada' (Farewell Pilgrimage). I said: Allaah's Messenger, you can well see the pain with which I am afflicted and I am a man possessing wealth, and there is none to inherit me except only one daughter. Should I give two-thirds of my property as Sadaqa? He said: No. I said: Should I give half (of my property) as Sadaqa? He said: No. He (further) said: Give one-third (in charity) and that is quite enough. To leave your heirs rich is better than to leave them poor, begging from people; that you would never incur an expense seeking therewith the pleasure of Allaah, but you would be rewarded therefor, even for a morsel of food that you put in the mouth of your wife. I said: Allaah's Messenger. would I survive my companions? He (the Prophet) said: If you survive them, then do such a deed by means of which you seek the pleasure of Allaah, but you would increase in your status (in religion) and prestige; you may survive so that people would benefit from you, and others would be harmed by you. (The Prophet) further said: Allaah, complete for my Companions their migration, and not cause them to turn back upon their heels. Sa'd b. Khaula is, however, unfortunate. Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) felt grief for him as he had died in Mecca.
