It is narrated from Tawus that Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: When a dying person is leaving behind seven hundred dirhams, he should not make a will.

It is narrated from Hammam that Hazrat Qatadah, in explanation of the Divine command {إنْ تَرَکَ خَیْرًا الْوَصِیَّۃُ }, said: At that time, it was commonly known among the people that the best wealth is one thousand dirhams.

It is narrated from Urwah that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came to a man from Banu Hashim to visit him during his illness. When the man began to make a will, Hazrat Ali forbade him and said: Allah Almighty has said, "If (the deceased) leaves behind wealth," and you are not leaving behind any wealth, so leave whatever there is for your children!

Ibn Abi Mulaykah narrates that a man said to Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "I wish to make a will." She asked, "How much wealth do you have?" He replied, "Three thousand." She asked, "How many family members do you have?" He said, "Four." She said, "Allah Almighty has mentioned this condition: 'If he leaves wealth,' and you have very little wealth. Leave it for your children; that is better."
