أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْفَحَّامُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى سَعْدًا يَعُودُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أُوصِي بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأُوصِي بِالنِّصْفِ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأُوصِي بِالثُّلُثِ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏الثُّلُثَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ أَوْ كَبِيرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَدَعَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَدَعَهُمْ فُقَرَاءَ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ .

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit Sa'd (when he was sick). Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ said to him: O Messenger of Allah, shall I bequeath two-thirds of my wealth? He said: No. He said: Shall I bequeath half? He said: No. He said: Shall I bequeath one-third? He said: Yes, one-third, and one-third is much or large. If you leave your heirs independent of means that is better than if you leave them poor, holding out their hands.
