حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَوْصَيْتَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بِكَمْ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَا تَرَكْتَ لِوَلَدِكَ ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ هُمْ أَغْنِيَاءُ بِخَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَوْصِ بِالْعُشْرِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَا زِلْتُ أُنَاقِصُهُ حَتَّى قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَوْصِ بِالثُّلُثِ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ:‏‏‏‏ وَنَحْنُ نَسْتَحِبُّ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ. قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَفِي الْبَاب، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ حَدِيثُ سَعْدٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ:‏‏‏‏ وَالثُّلُثُ كَبِيرٌ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ لَا يَرَوْنَ أَنْ يُوصِيَ الرَّجُلُ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَسْتَحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ:‏‏‏‏ كَانُوا يَسْتَحِبُّونَ فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ الْخُمُسَ دُونَ الرُّبُعِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالرُّبُعَ دُونَ الثُّلُثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ أَوْصَى بِالثُّلُثِ فَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَجُوزُ لَهُ إِلَّا الثُّلُثُ.

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.'
