حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ سَعْدٌ فِيَّ سَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الثُّلُثَ أَتَانِي يَعُودُنِي قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي أَوْصَيْتَ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ جَعَلْتُ مَالِي كُلَّهُ فِي الْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ قَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ قُلْتُ إِنَّ وَرَثَتِي أَغْنِيَاءُ قُلْتُ الثُّلُثَيْنِ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ فَالشَّطْرَ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ الثُّلُثَ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1501
It was narrated that Abu 'Abdul Rahman as-Sulami said: Saad said: It was concerning me that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) established the principle of (bequeathing) one-third. He came to visit me when I was sick and said to me: "Did you make a bequest?" I said: Yes, I bequeathed all my wealth to the poor, needy and wayfarers. He said: "Do not do that." I said: My heirs are independent of means. [Can I bequeath] two thirds? He said: "No." I said: Half? He said: "No." I said: One third? He said: "One third, and one third is a lot."
