Translation
Narrated 'Amir b. Sa'd

He became seriously ill — Ibn Abi Khalaf's version says: in Mecca — then they agreed: to the point that it brought him near death, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) visited him. He said: O Messenger of Allah, I have abundant wealth and no one inherits from me except my daughter. Shall I give two-thirds of it in charity? He said: No. He asked: Then a half? He said: No. He asked: Then a third? He said: A third, and a third is much. Indeed, that you leave your heirs wealthy is better than that you leave them destitute, begging from people. And indeed, you will never spend any provision seeking thereby the Face of Allah except that you will be rewarded for it, even for the morsel that you raise to your wife's mouth. I said: O Messenger of Allah, shall I remain behind from my migration? He said: Indeed, if you remain behind after me and do righteous deeds seeking thereby the Face of Allah, you will not increase thereby except in elevation and degree. And perhaps you will remain behind until some people benefit by you and others are harmed by you. Then he said: O Allah, carry out the migration for my Companions and do not turn them back on their heels. But the wretched one is Sa'd ibn Khawlah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) lamented for him that he died in Mecca.
