6373. Narrated 'Āmīr bin Sa'd that his father said, "In the year of Hajjat-ul-Wadā', the Prophet ﷺ paid me a visit while I was suffering from an ailment that had brought me on the verge of death. I said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! My sickness has reduced me to the (bad) state as you see, and I am a rich man, but have no heirs except one daughter. Shall I give two-third of my property in charity? He said, 'No.' I said, 'Then half of it?' He said, 'Even one-third is too much, for, to leave your inheritors wealthy is better than to leave them in poverty, begging from people. And (know that) whatever you spend in Allāh's Cause, you will get reward for it, even for the morsel of food which you put in your wife's mouth.' I said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! Will I be left behind my companions (in Makkah)?' He said, 'If you remain behind, whatever good deeds you will do for Allāh's sake, will raise and upgrade you to a higher position (in Allāh's Consideration). May be you will live longer so that some people may benefit by you, and some others may get harmed by you. O Allāh! Complete the emigration of my companions and do not turn them on their heels;(1) But the poor Sa'd bin Khaula (not the above mentioned Sa'd) (died in Makkah).'" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ lamented (or pitied) for him as he died in Makkah. [See Vol. 5, Hadith No. 4409]
