It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he fell ill in Makkah Mukarramah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to visit him. He did not like the idea of dying in the land from which he had migrated. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said twice:“May Allah’s mercy descend upon Sa’d bin ‘Afra.”And he had only one daughter. Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Can I bequeath all my wealth in the way of Allah? He replied:“No.”He asked about half, but he was also forbidden. Then when he asked about a third of his wealth, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Yes! You may bequeath a third, and a third is still a lot. It is better that you leave your family in a good state than to leave them in such a condition that they are forced to beg from people. And whatever you spend, you will be rewarded for it as charity, even for the morsel that you lift and put into your wife’s mouth. And it may be that Allah will grant you a long life, and through you many people will benefit and many people (disbelievers) will be harmed.”
