A man who has houses and bequeaths one third of them: is it gathered in one place or not?

Sa'd bin Ibrahim said: I asked al-Qasim about a man who had several houses and then bequeathed one-third of each house. He said: That entire share will be taken out and given from one house.

It is narrated from Ata concerning a man who bequeathed one-third of his wealth and some other things besides, and died leaving a house that comes to one-third of his wealth. He was asked: "May the person for whom the bequest was made be given that house as the one-third share?" He said: "No, rather he will be given a share of both the wealth and the house."
