English translation

5659. Narrated Sa'd: I became seriously ill at Makkah and the Prophet ﷺ came to visit me. I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I shall leave behind me a good fortune, but my heir is my only daughter, shall I bequeath two-third of my property to be spent in charity and leave one-third (for my heir)?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I bequeath half and leave half?" He said, "No". I said, "Shall I bequeath one-third and leave two-third?" He said, "One-third is alright, though even one-third is too much." Then he placed his hand on his forehead and passed it over my face and abdomen and said, "O Allāh! Cure Sa'd and complete his emigration."(1) I feel as if I have been feeling the coldness of his hand on my liver ever since.

5659 - حَدَّثَنَا المَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الجُعَيْدُ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ أَبَاهَا، قَالَ: تَشَكَّيْتُ بِمَكَّةَ شَكْوًا شَدِيدًا، فَجَاءَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي، فَقُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي أَتْرُكُ مَالًا، وَإِنِّي لَمْ أَتْرُكْ إِلَّا ابْنَةً وَاحِدَةً، فَأُوصِي بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي وَأَتْرُكُ الثُّلُثَ؟ فَقَالَ: «لاَ» قُلْتُ: فَأُوصِي بِالنِّصْفِ وَأَتْرُكُ النِّصْفَ؟ قَالَ: «لاَ» قُلْتُ: فَأُوصِي بِالثُّلُثِ وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا الثُّلُثَيْنِ؟ قَالَ: «الثُّلُثُ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ» ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَبَطْنِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِ سَعْدًا، وَأَتْمِمْ لَهُ هِجْرَتَهُ» فَمَا زِلْتُ أَجِدُ بَرْدَهُ عَلَى كَبِدِي - فِيمَا يُخَالُ إِلَيَّ - حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ

    (1) (H. 5659) To complete his emigration means to let him return to Al-Madina and die there rather than in Makkah whence he had emigrated.
