Sunan ad-Darimi — Hadith #56005

Yazid bin Harun told us, Muhammad bin Ishaq told us, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, on the authority of Amir bin Saad, on the authority of his father, he said: “I complained with the Prophet May God’s prayers and peace be upon him, during the Farewell Pilgrimage until I approached, then the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, entered to visit me, so I said: O Messenger of God, I have never seen anything except that I am in possession of a lot of money, and a daughter of mine is leaving me as an heir. Should I give all of my money in charity? He said: No, I said: So half of it? He said: No, I said: So a third? He said: A third, and a third is a lot. If you leave your heirs rich, it is better than leaving them. Poor people, they beggar people with their own hands, and you do not spend anything except that God will reward you for it, even what you put in your wife’s mouth.”
