3644. Abū Ḥabībah Aṭ-Ṭâ'ī said: "A man made a will leaving some Dînârs (to be spent) in the cause of Allâh. Abū Ad-Dardâ' was asked about that, and he narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The likeness of the one who frees a slave or gives some charity when he is dying, is that of a man who gives a gift after he has eaten his fill." (Hasan)
3614 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ، سَمِعَ أَبَا حَبِيبَةَ الطَّائِيَّ، قَالَ: أَوْصَى رَجُلٌ بِدَنَانِيرَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَسُئِلَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَحَدَّثَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْتِقُ أَوْ يَتَصَدَّقُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُهْدِي بَعْدَمَا يَشْبَعُ»

[1] At-Takāthur 102:1-2.
The purpose is that the charity given at the time of one's death is lesser from the dimension of recompense than that which is given in the state of good health. It does not mean it has absolutely no benefit or reward, because righteousness is always beneficial.
