A man with little wealth: should he make a bequest from it?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32995 — A man with little wealth: should he
٣٢٩٩٥ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن محمد بن شريك عن ابن أبي (مليكة) (١) عن عائشة قال: قال لها رجل: إني أريد أن أوصي، قالت: كم مالك؟ قال: ثلاثة آلاف، قالت: فكم عيالك؟ قال: أربعة، (قالت) (٢): فإن اللَّه يقول: ﴿إِنْ تَرَكَ خَيْرًا﴾ وإنه شيء يسير فدعه لعيالك فإنه أفضل (٣).
Ibn Abi Mulaykah said: A man said to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "I wish to make a bequest." She asked: "How much wealth do you have?" He said: "Three thousand." She asked: "How many members are there in your family?" He said: "Four." She said: "Allah Almighty has mentioned this condition: 'If he leaves wealth,' and what you have is a very small amount of wealth, so leave it for your children; that is more virtuous."
