Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once I became so ill in Makkah that I was close to death. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit me, so I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have a lot of wealth and only one daughter as my heir. Should I bequeath two-thirds of my wealth in charity? He said: No! I asked: Half of my wealth in charity? He said: No! I asked: One-third in charity? He said: One-third (can be given), but even that is a lot. If you leave your heirs wealthy, that is better than leaving them poor.
Hadith 948
Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man, at the time of his death, freed his six slaves, while he had no wealth other than them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called for them, divided them into three parts, then drew lots among them and freed two, and made four remain as slaves. And regarding that man, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used harsh words.
Hadith 949
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) and others narrate, who were present at the sermon of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on that day, that a part of the speech of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was: Allah Almighty has given every rightful person his due right, therefore, there is no will for any heir.
