The Prophet (SAW) came visiting me while I was (sick) in Makkah, (Amir the sub-narrator said, and he disliked to die in the land, whence he had already migrated). He (i.e. the Prophet (SAW)) said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on Ibn Afra (Sad bin Khaula)." I said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! May I will all my property (in charity)?" He said, "No." I said, "Then may I will half of it?" He said, "No". I said, "One third?" He said: "Yes, one third, yet even one third is too much. It is better for you to leave your inheritors wealthy than to leave them poor begging others, and whatever you spend for Allah's sake will be considered as a charitable deed even the handful of food you put in your wife's mouth. Allah may lengthen your age so that some people may benefit by you, and some others be harmed by you." At that time Sad had only one daughter.

(the wife of the Prophet (SAW)) Utba bin Abi Waqqas entrusted (his son) to his brother Sad bin Abi Waqqas saying, "The son of the slave-girl of Zama is my (illegal) son, take him into your custody." So during the year of the Conquest (of Makkah) Sad took the boy and said, "This is my brother's son whom my brother entrusted to me." Abd bin Zama got up and said, "He is my brother and the son of the slave girl of my father and was born on my father's bed." Then both of them came to Allah's Apostle (SAW) and Sad said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! This is my brother's son whom my brother entrusted to me." Then Abd bin Zama got up and said, "This is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father." Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "O Abd bin Zama! This boy is for you as the boy belongs to the bed (where he was born), and for the adulterer is the stone (i.e. deprivation)." Then the Prophet (SAW) said to his wife Sauda bint Zama, "Screen yourself from this boy," when he saw the boy's resemblance to Utba. Since then the boy did not see Sauda till he died.

The custom (in old days) was that the property of the deceased would be inherited by his offspring; as for the parents (of the deceased), they would inherit by the will of the deceased. Then Allah cancelled from that custom whatever He wished and fixed for the male double the amount inherited by the female, and for each parent a sixth (of the whole legacy) and for the wife an eighth or a fourth and for the husband a half or a fourth.

I heard Allah's Apostle (SAW) saying, "All of you are guardians and responsible for your charges: the Ruler (i.e. Imam) is a guardian and responsible for his subjects; and a man is a guardian of his family and is responsible for his charges; and a lady is a guardian in the house of her husband and is responsible for her charge; and a servant is a guardian of the property of his master and is responsible for his charge." I think he also said, "And a man is a guardian of the property of his father."

The Prophet (SAW) said to Abu Talha, "I recommend that you divide (this garden) amongst your relatives." Abu Talha said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! I will do the same." So Abu Talha divided it among his relatives and cousins. Ibn Abbes said, "When the Qur'anic Verse: "And warn your tribe (O Muhammad) of near kindred' (26.214) was revealed, the Prophet (SAW) started calling the various big families of Quraish, "O Bani Fihr! O Bani Adi!' " Abu Huraira said, "When the Verse: And warn your tribe (O Muhammad) of near kindred' was revealed, the Prophet (SAW) said (in a loud voice), "O people of Quraish!' "

When Allah revealed the Verse: "And warn your tribe (O Muhammad) of near kindred," Allah's Apostle (SAW) got up and said, "O people of Quraish (or said similar words)! Buy (i.e. save) yourselves (from the Hellfire) as I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment; O Bani Abd Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment, O Safiya, the Aunt of Allah's Apostle (SAW)! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment; O Fatima bint Muhammad! Ask me anything from my wealth, but I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment."

The Prophet (SAW) saw a man driving a Badana (i.e. camel for sacrifice) and said to him, "Ride on it." The man said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! It is a Badana." (The Prophet (SAW) repeated his order) and on the third or fourth time he said, "Ride it, (woe to you" or said: "May Allah be merciful to you)."

Allah's Apostle (SAW) saw a man driving a Badana (Camel for sacrifice) and said to him, "Ride on it," and on the second or the third time he added, "Woe to you."

The mother of Sad bin Ubada died in his absence. He said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! My mother died in my absence; will it be of any benefit for her if I give Sadaqa (here it means charity) on her behalf?" The Prophet (SAW) said, "Yes," Sad said, "I make you a witness that I gave my garden called Al-Mikhraf in charity on her behalf."

I said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! For the acceptance of my repentance I wish to give all my property in charity for Allah's sake through His Apostle (SAW)." He said, "It is better for you to keep some of the property for yourself." I said, "Then I will keep my share in Khaibar."
