Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32961 — How much of his wealth a man may
٣٢٩٦١ - حدثنا وكيع عن هشام عن أبيه عن ابن عباس قال: وددت أن الناس غضوا من الثلث إلى الربع؛ لأن رسول اللَّه ﷺ قال: "الثلث كثير" (١).
Urwah said that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I wish that people would come down from one third to making bequests of one quarter of their wealth, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One third is a lot."
