Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33085 — A woman who bequeathed one third

Ibn Ulayyah said: I was with Dawud bin Abi Hind when two or more men from the family of Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) came, among them Ubaydullah bin Abi Bakr. They brought with them a letter inside a document, and they said that this was the will of Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). I opened it and in it was written: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful: This is the record of the will that Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) has written in this document. I enjoin all the people of my household to fear Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, to give thanks to Him, to hold firmly to His rope, and to believe in His promise. And I enjoin them to live with one another in a good way, to be kind to their kin, to do good to others, and to keep fearing Allah." Then he made the bequest that a third of his wealth is charity, unless he changes his will before his death; of this, one thousand is for the fighters in the way of Allah, if at that time the unity of the Ummah has not been scattered, and it is for freeing slaves and for distribution among relatives. And those slaves of mine whom I have freed to take effect after me, when the time of their freedom has come, the person responsible for my will shall include them in the third, in such a way that he causes no difficulty or dispute.
