أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْكَبِيرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا بُكَيْرُ بْنُ مِسْمَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ عَامِرَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ اشْتَكَى بِمَكَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا رَآهُ سَعْدٌ بَكَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَمُوتُ بِالْأَرْضِ الَّتِي هَاجَرْتُ مِنْهَا ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَعْنِي بِثُلُثَيْهِ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَنِصْفَهُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَثُلُثَهُ ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ الثُّلُثَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَتْرُكَ بَنِيكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْرُكَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ .

He fell sick in Makkah and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to him. When Sa'd saw him, he wept and said: O Messenger of Allah, am I to die in the land from which I emigrated? He said: No, if Allah wills. He said: O Messenger of Allah, shall I bequeath all of my wealth in the cause of Allah? He said: No. He said: Two-thirds? He said: No. He said: Half of it? He said: No. He said: One-third of it? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: One-third, and one-third is a lot. If you leave your sons independent of means that is better than if you leave them poor, holding out their hands to people.
