Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that regarding me, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fixed the amount of one third in the matter of bequest. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit me when I was ill. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me,“Have you made a bequest?”I said,“Yes! I have made a bequest of all my wealth in the name of the poor, needy, and travelers.”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Do not do that.”I said,“My heirs are wealthy, nevertheless, shall I make a bequest of two-thirds?”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“No.”I mentioned half, he said,“No.”I mentioned one third, he said,“Yes! One third is permissible, and even that is much.”
