(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنِي
ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ غَضُّوا مِنَ الثُّلُثِ إِلَى الرُّبُعِ ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " الثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: I wish people would reduce the amount in bequest from one third and choose one fourth, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has also considered one third to be much.
