حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وسهل، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَرِضْتُ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ حَتَّى أَشْفَيْتُ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ فَعَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ أَيْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي مَالًا كَثِيرًا وَلَيْسَ يَرِثُنِي إِلَّا ابْنَتِي أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ فَالشَّطْرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ فَالثُّلُثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الثُّلُثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ أَنْ تَتَرُكَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْرُكَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ .

Urdu Translation

سعد بن ابی وقاص رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ   میں فتح مکہ کے سال ایسا بیمار ہوا کہ موت کے کنارے پہنچ گیا، رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم میری عیادت ( بیمار پرسی ) کے لیے تشریف لائے، تو میں نے پوچھا: اللہ کے رسول! میرے پاس بہت سارا مال ہے، اور ایک بیٹی کے علاوہ کوئی وارث نہیں ہے، تو کیا میں اپنے دو تہائی مال کی وصیت کر دوں؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے جواب دیا: نہیں ، میں نے کہا: پھر آدھا؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: نہیں ، میں نے کہا: تو ایک تہائی؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: ہاں، تہائی، حالانکہ یہ بھی زیادہ ہی ہے ، تمہارا اپنے ورثاء کو مالدار چھوڑ کر جانا، انہیں محتاج چھوڑ کر جانے سے بہتر ہے کہ وہ لوگوں کے سامنے ہاتھ پھیلاتے پھریں ۱؎۔

English Translation

It was narrated from 'Amir bin Sa'd that his father said: “I became sick during the year of the Conquest, and was at death's door. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to visit me and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I have a great deal of wealth and no one will inherit from me apart from my daughter. Can I give two thirds of my wealth in charity?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'Then half?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'One third?' He said: One third and one third is a lot. If you leave your heirs rich that is better than leaving them destitute and begging from people.”
