عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ غَضُّوا مِنَ الثُّلُثِ إِلَى الرُّبُعِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, he says: I wish that people would choose to bequeath one-fourth of their wealth instead of one-third, because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, had said: Bequeathing one-third is also too much.
