Hadith text

Narrated 'Amir bin Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas:That his father said, "In the year of the last Hajj of the Prophet (ﷺ) I became seriously ill and the Prophet (ﷺ) used to visit me inquiring about my health. I told him, 'I am reduced to this state because of illness and I am wealthy and have no inheritors except a daughter, (In this narration the name of 'Amir bin Sa`d is mentioned and in fact it is a mistake; the narrator is `Aisha bint Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas). Should I give two-thirds of my property in charity?' He said, 'No.' I asked, 'Half?' He said, 'No.' then he added, 'One-third, and even one-third is much. You'd better leave your inheritors wealthy rather than leaving them poor, begging others. You will get a reward for whatever you spend for Allah's sake, even for what you put in your wife's mouth.' I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Will I be left alone after my companions have gone?' He said, 'If you are left behind, whatever good deeds you will do will upgrade you and raise you high. And perhaps you will have a long life so that some people will be benefited by you while others will be harmed by you. O Allah! Complete the emigration of my companions and do not turn them renegades.' But Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) felt sorry for poor Sa`d bin Khaula as he died in Mecca." (but Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas lived long after the Prophet (ﷺ)

Amir bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas, apne waalid ke hawale se: Nabi ke aakhri Hajj ke saal, main sakht bimar ho gaya aur Nabi meri tabiyat poochhne aate rahe. Maine unse kaha: "Main is haal mein hoon bimari ki wajah se, aur main maldaar hoon, aur mere siwa koi waaris nahi siwaye ek beti ke (is riwayat mein Amir bin Sa'd ka naam galti se aaya hai, asal mein raawi Ayesha bint Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas hain). Kya main apna do-tihai maal sadqa kar dun?" Aap ne kaha: "Nahi." Maine pucha: "Aadha?" Aap ne kaha: "Nahi." Phir farmaya: "Ek-tihai, aur ek-tihai bhi bahut hai. Apne waarison ko maldaar chhodna behtar hai bajaye is ke ke woh gareeb ho kar logon se maangte phirein. Tum jo bhi Allah ki raah mein kharch karoge, uska ajr milega, chahe woh ek lukma ho jo tum apni biwi ke mun mein daalo." Maine kaha: "Ya Allah ke Rasool! Kya mere sathiyon ke jaane ke baad main akela reh jaunga?" Aap ne farmaya: "Agar tum peeche reh gaye, to tum jo bhi neik amal karoge, tumhara darja badhega aur tumhe oonchaai milegi. Aur shayad tumhari lambi umr ho jisse kuch log faida uthaayenge aur kuch nuqsaan. Aye Allah! Mere sathiyon ki hijrat mukammal kar de aur unhe (deen se) mud-ne wala mat bana." Magar Allah ke Rasool ko gareeb Sa'd bin Khaula ke liye afsos hua kyunke unka Mecca mein intiqal hua tha. (Magar Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas khud Nabi ke baad bahut lambi zindagi jiye.)
