باب الْوَصِيَّةِ بِأَقَلَّ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ:Chapter on bequeathing less than a third
Hadith 3234
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: "كَانَ السُّدُسُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ الثُّلُثِ".
It is narrated from Mansur (ibn al-Mu'tamir): Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Among the people, one-sixth (for bequest) was more beloved than one-third.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 3231 to 3234)
From all these traditions, it becomes clear that the deceased should make a bequest (wasiyyah) of less than one third from his wealth, because one third is a limit; the bequest should be for less than this.
