When he was dying, hesaid, 'By Allah, little daughter, there is no one I would prefer to bewealthy after I die than you. There is no one it is more difficult forme to see poor after I die than you.

A'isha continued, "I said,'My father! By Allah, even if it had been more, I would have left it.There is only Asma. Who is my other sister?" Abu Bakr replied, 'Whatis in the womb of Kharija?
