Hadith text

Narrated Sa`d:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to visit me during my ailment which had been aggravated during Hajjat-al- Wada`. I said to him, "You see how sick I am. I have much property but have no heir except my only daughter May I give two thirds of my property in charity?"! He said, "No." I said, "Half of it?" He said, "No." I said "One third?" He said, "One third is too much, for to leave your heirs rich is better than to leave them poor, begging of others. Nothing you spend seeking Allah's pleasure but you shall get a reward for it, even for what you put in the mouth of your wife

Sa'd bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool (SAW) mujhse milne aaye meri us bimaari ke dauraan jo Hajjat-ul-Wada ke waqt aur badh gayi thi. Maine unse kaha, 'Aap dekh rahe hain main kitna bimar hoon. Mere paas bahut jaayadaad hai magar mera koi waaris nahi siwaaye meri ek beti ke. Kya main apni do-tihaai jaayadaad sadqe mein de doon?' Unhone kaha, 'Nahi.' Maine kaha, 'Aadhi?' Unhone kaha, 'Nahi.' Maine kaha, 'Ek-tihaai?' Unhone kaha, 'Ek-tihaai bhi bahut zyaada hai, kyunke apne waarison ko ameer chhodna behtar hai unhein gareeb chhodne se, jo doosron se bheekh maangte phirein. Tum jo bhi Allah ki khushi ke liye kharch karoge, uska ajr tumhein milega, chaahe wo apni biwi ke munh mein daala gaya ek nawaala hi kyun na ho.'
