Sahih al-Bukhari 2744

Hadith text

Narrated Sa`d:I fell sick and the Prophet (ﷺ) paid me a visit. I said to him, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I invoke Allah that He may not let me expire in the land whence I migrated (i.e. Mecca)." He said, "May Allah give you health and let the people benefit by you." I said, "I want to will my property, and I have only one daughter and I want to will half of my property (to be given in charity)." He said," Half is too much." I said, "Then I will one third." He said, "One-third, yet even one-third is too much." (The narrator added, "So the people started to will one third of their property and that was Permitted for them)

Sa'd bataate hain: Main bimar pad gaya aur Nabi mujhse milne aaye. Maine unse kaha: "Ya Allah ke Rasool! Main Allah se dua karta hoon ke woh mujhe us zameen mein na marne de jahan se maine hijrat ki (yaani Mecca)." Aap ne kaha: "Allah tumhe sehat de aur logon ko tumse faida pahunchne de." Maine kaha: "Main apni jaidad ki vasiyat karna chahta hoon, aur meri sirf ek beti hai, aur main apni aadhi jaidad (sadqa mein) dena chahta hoon." Aap ne kaha: "Aadha bahut zyada hai." Maine kaha: "Phir ek-tihai." Aap ne kaha: "Ek-tihai, chahe ek-tihai bhi bahut zyada hai." (Raawi ne joda, "Isliye log apni jaidad ka ek-tihai vasiyat karna shuru kiya aur unhe yeh ijazat mil gayi.")
