Sahih al-Bukhari 3098 (Book 57, Hadith 7) #2961
The Legacy of the Prophet (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) left behind only his arms, a white mule, and a piece of land which he had given as charity.

Narrated 'Amr bin Al-Harith: The Prophet did not leave anything (after his death) except his arms, a white mule, and a (piece of) land which he had given as Sadaqa.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ مَا تَرَكَ النَّبِيُّ إِلاَّ سِلاَحَهُ وَبَغْلَتَهُ الْبَيْضَاءَ، وَأَرْضًا تَرَكَهَا صَدَقَةً‏.‏

Be generous with your wealth & possessions; Help those in need; Emulate the example set by the Prophet ﷺ .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the legacy that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ left behind. He did not leave any wealth or possessions for himself but instead chose to give away all that he owned in charity. He only kept three items with him; his arms, a white mule and a piece of land which he gave away as sadaqa. This teaches us that we should be generous with our wealth and possessions and use them to help those in need. We should also strive to emulate the example set by the Prophet ﷺ in our own lives by being charitable and generous towards others.
