حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ عَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ فَقَالَ أَوْصَيْتَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ بِکَمْ قُلْتُ بِمَالِي کُلِّهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَمَا تَرَکْتَ لِوَلَدِکَ قُلْتُ هُمْ أَغْنِيَائُ بِخَيْرٍ قَالَ أَوْصِ بِالْعُشْرِ فَمَا زِلْتُ أُنَاقِصُهُ حَتَّی قَالَ أَوْصِ بِالثُّلُثِ وَالثُّلُثُ کَثِيرٌ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَنَحْنُ نَسْتَحِبُّ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ الثُّلُثِ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالثُّلُثُ کَثِيرٌ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی حَدِيثُ سَعْدٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ وَالثُّلُثُ کَبِيرٌ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَی هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ لَا يَرَوْنَ أَنْ يُوصِيَ الرَّجُلُ بِأَکْثَرَ مِنْ الثُّلُثِ وَيَسْتَحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ الثُّلُثِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ کَانُوا يَسْتَحِبُّونَ فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ الْخُمُسَ دُونَ الرُّبُعِ وَالرُّبُعَ دُونَ الثُّلُثِ وَمَنْ أَوْصَی بِالثُّلُثِ فَلَمْ يَتْرُکْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَجُوزُ لَهُ إِلَّا الثُّلُثُ

جامع ترمذی · Hadith 975

Sa'd bin Malik said: The Messenger of Allah came to visit me while I was sick. He said: 'Do you have a will?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'For how much?' I said: 'All of my wealth, for the cause of Allah.' He said: 'What did you leave for your children?' He (Sa'd) said: They are rich in goodness.' He said: 'Will a tenth.' He (Sa'd) said: He (pbuh) continued decreasing it until he said: 'Will a third, and a third is too great.' (One of the narrators:) Abdur-Rahman said: We considered it recommended that it be less than a third, since the Messenger of Allah said: 'And a third is too great.'
