It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of the Farewell Pilgrimage. It happened that I became ill and it seemed that death was near. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit me for my care. I said: O Messenger of Allah! I am a man with much wealth and only my one daughter will inherit from me, so should I not bequeath two-thirds of my wealth? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No. I said: Should I bequeath half of my wealth? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No. I said: A third of my wealth? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, a third is fine, and even that is much. O Sa’d! If you leave your heirs wealthy, that is better than leaving them in such poverty that they go around asking people. O Sa’d! Whatever you spend seeking Allah’s pleasure, you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel you put in your wife’s mouth, you will be rewarded for that too. Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Will I remain in Mecca after my companions (because of this illness)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you remain, and whatever deed you do seeking Allah’s pleasure, your ranks will be raised through it. It may be that you live on, so that Allah benefits some people through you and harms others. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed: O Allah! Complete the migration of my companions and do not turn them back on their heels, but poor Sa’d bin Khawlah. In fact, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) felt pity for Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) because he had died in Mecca.
