Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Amir ibn Sad ibn Abi Waqqas that his father said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to me to treat me for a pain which became hard to bear in the year of the farewell hajj. I said, Messenger of Allah, you can see how far the pain has reached me. I have property and only my daughter inherits from me. Shall I give two thirds of my property as sadaqa? The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, No. I said, Half? He said, No. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, A third, and a third is a lot. Leaving your heirs rich is better than leaving them poor to beg from people. You never spend anything on maintenance desiring the Face of Allah by it, but that you are rewarded for it, even what you appoint for your wife. Sad said, Messenger of Allah, will I be left here in Makka after my companions have departed for Madina? The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, If you are left behind, and do sound deeds you will increase your degree and elevation by them. Perhaps you will be left behind so that some people may benefit by you and others may be harmed by you. O Allah! complete their hijra for my companions, and do not turn them back on their heels. The unfortunate one is Said ibn Khawla. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was distressed on his account for he had died at Makka."
