Abdullah bin Muammar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Whoever said that a third of my wealth should be spent for Allah wherever He wills, we would give it to his close relatives who were not heirs. And whoever specified something particular, we would give it where he had specified."

Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "If someone makes a bequest for a non-relative, then one third of the one third should be given to the non-relative, and two thirds to the close relatives."

Dhahhak (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Whoever does not make a bequest for his close relatives ends his deeds upon disobedience."

Dhahhak (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "If I were a ruler and someone made a bequest for a non-relative, I would reject that bequest, even if palaces were built or wealth was obtained from it."

Ibn Tawus, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "The bequest (wasiyyah) was prescribed earlier; when the rulings of inheritance were revealed, it became specific for the heirs, and the bequest remained for those who are not heirs. And the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: «وارث کے لئے وصیت جائز نہیں» ."

Muslim bin Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that a man made a bequest for his relatives, but the relatives considered it little, so they said: "Increase their share." I said: "I cannot increase their share." Then they said: "Ask Hasan Basri (may Allah have mercy on him)." When he was asked, he said: "What he has specified is sufficient."

A neighbor came to Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him), who wanted him to bear witness to his will, but Masruq saw that he had been extravagant and excessive. So Masruq said: "Allah has made the best distribution among you. Whoever prefers his own opinion over Allah's distribution has gone astray. Make a will for those among your relatives who are not heirs, and leave the rest to Allah's distribution." And he refused to bear witness.

Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "A man was making a will and began to bequeath things that were not appropriate, so indeed Allah has made the best division among you, and whoever leaves Allah's division and follows his own opinion goes astray. You should make a will for those who are not your heirs, then leave the wealth according to Allah's division."

Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Whoever gives preference to one of his children over another, Allah has made the best division among you. Whoever puts his own opinion before Allah's opinion will go astray. Make bequests for your non-heir relatives and leave the wealth to Allah's division."

Ata and Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on them) said: "Whoever makes a bequest of a share in his wealth, it is nothing, because he has not specified." And Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "His right in every case is one-sixth."
