Explanation of the words of Imam al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding what he quoted: "

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said, regarding what he quoted from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him): That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit him in the illness that had befallen him, and that was in Makkah. Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) was one of the emigrants who migrated from Makkah to al-Madinah, leaving their homeland for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). It was the custom of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to visit his sick companions, just as he would visit those among them who were visiting, because he (peace and blessings be upon him) was the best of people in character. Although he was the Imam who is followed, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, he was the best of people in character, the gentlest of them toward his companions, and the most affectionate toward them. So he came to visit him, and he said: O Messenger of Allah: "I have reached a state of pain as you see": meaning he was afflicted with a great, severe pain. "And I possess wealth": possessing much wealth, or he said: great wealth, meaning he had a lot of wealth. "And no one will inherit from me except my daughter": meaning he had no heirs by fixed shares except this daughter. "Should I give in charity two-thirds of my wealth": meaning two-thirds out of three? He said: , I said: Should I give in charity half? : meaning the half. , so his statement: Should I give in charity two-thirds of my wealth: means giving it as charity. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prevented him from that, because Sa'd in that state was ill with an illness from which death was feared. Therefore, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prevented him from giving in charity more than one-third, because a person who is ill with the illness of death, which is feared, it is not permissible for him to give in charity more than one-third, because the rights of others, namely the heirs, are attached to his wealth. As for one who is healthy, with no illness or with a minor illness from which death is not feared, he may give in charity as much as he wishes: one-third, half, two-thirds, or all his wealth, and there is no blame on him. But it is not recommended for him to give in charity all his wealth unless he has something with which he knows he will be self-sufficient regarding the servants of Allah. The important point is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prevented him from giving in charity more than one-third, and he said: : and in this is evidence that if it is less than one-third, it is better and more complete. For this reason, Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "If only people would reduce from one-third to one-quarter, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

A third, and a third is a lot.

الثلث والثلث كثير

", and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I am satisfied with what Allah has chosen for Himself": meaning the fifth, so he bequeathed the fifth (may Allah be pleased with him). And by this we know that the practice of people today, and their bequeathing one-third, is contrary to what is best, even though it is permissible. But the best is that it be less than one-third, either one-quarter or one-fifth. Our jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) said: "And the best is to bequeath the fifth and not exceed it, following the example of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him)". Then the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: : meaning that you leave the wealth and do not give it in charity, so that when you die and the heirs inherit it, they become wealthy with it. This is better than leaving them poor: meaning you do not leave them anything. : meaning they ask people with their palms, give us, give us.
And in this is evidence that if a deceased person leaves wealth for the heirs, that is better for him. A person should not think that if he leaves wealth and it is inherited from him by force, that he has no reward for it. No, rather he has a reward. So much so that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: : meaning , because if you leave the wealth for the heirs, they benefit from it and they are relatives. And if you give it in charity, the distant ones benefit from it. And charity to a relative is better than charity to a distant one, because charity to a relative is charity and maintaining family ties. And the rest of the discussion on the hadith will come, if Allah wills.
