الفصل الثاني 3072 - عن سعد بن ابي وقاص - رضي الله عنه - قال: عادني رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وانا مريض، فقال: اوصيت؟"قلت: نعم. قال:"بكم": قلت بمالي كله في سبيل الله. قال:"فما تركت لولدك؟"قلت: هم اغنياء بخير. فقال:"اوص بالعشر"فما زلت اناقصه، حتى قال:"اوص بالثلث  ، والثلث كثير". رواه الترمذي.
Sa’d b. Abu Waqqas said:God’s Messenger visited me when I was ill and asked whether I had made my will. I replied that I had. He asked how much I had willed and when I told him I had willed all my property away to be devoted to God’s path he asked how much I had left my children. I replied that they were rich and prosperous, whereupon he told me to will away a tenth ; but I kept on telling him it was too little till he finally said,“Will away a third, but a third is a lot.”Tirmidhi transmitted it.
