وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: مَرِضْتُ، فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: «دَعْنِي أَقْسِمْ مَالِي حَيْثُ شِئْتُ، فَأَبَى»، قُلْتُ: فَالنِّصْفُ؟ فَأَبَى ، قُلْتُ: «فَالثُّلُثُ؟»، قَالَ: «فَسَكَتَ بَعْدَ الثُّلُثِ»، قَالَ: «فَكَانَ بَعْدُ الثُّلُثُ جَائِزًا.

I was ailing. I sent message to Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) saying: Permit me to give away my property as I like. He refused. I (again) said: (Permit me) to give away half. He (again refused). I (again said): Then one-third. He (the Holy Prophet ﷺ) observed silence after (I had asked permission to give away) one-third. He (the narrator) said: It was then that endowment of one-third became permissible.
