أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْفَحَّامُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى سَعْدًا يَعُودُهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أُوصِي بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " ، قَالَ : فَأُوصِي بِالنِّصْفِ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " ، قَالَ : فَأُوصِي بِالثُّلُثِ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ ، الثُّلُثَ ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ أَوْ كَبِيرٌ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَدَعَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَدَعَهُمْ فُقَرَاءَ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ " .
´It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah came to visit Sa'd (when he was sick). Sa'd said to him:` "O Messenger of Allah, shall I bequeath two-thirds of my wealth?" He said: "No." He said: "Shall I bequeath half?" He said: "No." He said: "Shall I bequeath one-third?" He said: "Yes, one-third, and one-third is much or large. If you leave your heirs independent of means that is better than if you leave them poor, holding out their hands."
