سنن نسائی · Hadith 3670
It was narrated from Muhammad bin Saad, from his father Saad bin Malik, that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم came to him when he was sick and he said: “I do not have any children apart from one daughter. Shall I bequeath all my wealth?” The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “No.” He said: “Shall I bequeath half of it?” The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “No.” He said: “ShaJi I bequeath one-third of it?” He said: “One third, and one-third is much or large.” (Sahih)
