Sahih Muslim 1628f (Book 25, Hadith 11) #11321
Giving Away One-Third of Property as Charity

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advising a man to give away one-third of his property as charity.

Ibn Sa'd reported his father as saying: Allah's Apostle visited me during my illness. I said: I am willing away the whole of my property. He said: #I said: Then half? He said: #I said: Should I will away one-third? He said: Yes, and even one-third is enough.
وَحَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ عَادَنِي النَّبِيُّ فَقُلْتُ أُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَالنِّصْفُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ أَبِالثُّلُثِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ

Give generously from your wealth for charitable causes.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's advice to a man who was ill and wanted to give away all of his property. The Prophet advised him to give away one-third of it instead. This teaches us that charity is an important part of our faith and that we should be generous with our wealth. We should also remember that even if we can't give away all our wealth, giving even one-third can still make a difference in someone else's life. It also shows us how much care and attention the Prophet gave to those around him - he was always willing to help others in need and provide them with guidance on how best they could use their resources for good causes.
