Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) said: He was present with a man who was making a will at the time of his death and was giving preference to some heirs over others, so he said to him: Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has apportioned among you and has made the best division, and whoever prefers his own opinion over Allah’s decision will go astray. So make a bequest for the one who is your close relative but not an heir, and then leave the wealth according to the division that Allah has prescribed.
