HADITH: 5
Someone asked Rasulullah Sallallaho alaihe wasallam as to what Sadaqah was most rewardable? Rasulullah
Sallallaho alaihe wasallam replied, "When at the time of giving Sadaqah you are in good health, you have greed for
wealth, you fear to become poor and have a keen desire to become rich. That is the opportunity; do not postpone it
till the last moment of your life and then say, ‘So much to so and so, and so much to that (Masjid) and that much to
such and such (Madrassah), although now the property belongs to so and so (heirs). (Mishkaat)
Note: The fact is that the heir now has a rightful share in the property; the last will is applicable to at most one third
of the property, therefore the dying person can only give as Sadaqah one third of his property. Another Hadith says,
that Rasulullah Sallallaho alaihe wasallam has said, "Man keeps saying ‘my property, my property’; in fact his
property is confined to three things only; that which he has eaten, which he has worn and which he has given as
Sadaqah and deposited in Allah’s Treasury; whatever is left over, he is leaving for other people." Another Hadith
says, "It is better for a man to give one Dirham as Sadaqah early in his life time than to give a hundred Dirhams at
the time of his death".
The reason is that anything given away on the death-bed amounts to giving from someone else’s property, because
the dying man has to leave everything behind. Another Hadith quotes the saying of Rasulullah Sallallaho alaihe
wasallam that anyone who gives Sadaqah, at the time of death, is like a man who, after satisfying his appetite,
gives the remaining food as a present to someone. (Mishkaat). Rasulullah Sallallaho alaihe wasallam has
repeatedly declared that the proper time for giving Sadaqah is when one is healthy and fit; that is the time to control
one’s personal desires. This does not mean that Sadaqah at the time of death has no value.
It does carry a reward and becomes an investment for the Akhirah, but it does not carry the same return as that for
giving Sadaqah in spite of ones needs and requirements. Allah Jalla Shanohu has said:
It is prescribed for you that when one of you approaches death and leaves property, he should make a will, in a
known manner, in favour of his parents and other relatives. All those who fear Allah will do this as their bounden
duty. (al-baqarah: 180)
This Divine order was given in the early days of Islam. Later, when the detailed orders regarding inheritance were
revealed, the earlier order, for making will for those relatives whose rights had been fixed in ‘Shariah’, was
cancelled; nevertheless the order for making a will upto one third of the property applied to all relatives who did not
come under the Inheritance order.
