Amir bin Sa'd (narrated) from his father that he fell sick in Makkah and the Messenger of Allah 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 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.
