Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : " اشْتَكَيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ حَتَّى أُدْنِفْتُ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَ
سُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا أُرَانِي إِلَّا أَلَمَّ بِي وَأَنَا ذُو مَالٍ كَثِيرٍ، وَإِنَّمَا يَرِثُنِي ابْنَةٌ لِي، أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ؟ قَالَ : لَا، قُلْتُ : فَبِنِصْفِهِ؟ قَال : لَا، قُلْتُ : فَالثُّلُثِ؟ قَالَ :الثُّلُثُ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ، إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَتْرُكْ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْرُكَهُمْ فُقَرَاءَ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ، وَإِنَّكَ لَا تُنْفِقُ نَفَقَةً إِلَّا آجَرَكَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا، حَتَّى مَا تَجْعَلُ فِي فِي امْرَأَتِكَ "

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Amir ibn Sa'd, from his father Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: "I fell ill with the Prophet ﷺ during the Farewell Pilgrimage until I was gravely ill. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit me. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I see that death is coming for me, and I have much wealth but only a daughter to inherit from me. May I give all my wealth in charity?' He said: 'No.' I asked: 'Half of it?' He said: 'No.' I asked: 'One-third?' He said: 'One-third — and one-third is much. If you leave your heirs wealthy, that is better than leaving them poor, begging from people with outstretched hands. You will not spend any expenditure seeking Allah's pleasure except that Allah will reward you for it, even a morsel you put in your wife's mouth.'"
