اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، أنا مُحَمَّدٌ، أنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ، مِنْهُمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَيُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، وَغَيْرُهُمْ، أَنَّ نَافِعًا حَدَّثَهُمْ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْوَصِيَّةِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " الثُّلُثُ وَسَطٌ مِنَ الْمَالِ، لَا بَخْسَ وَلَا شَطَطَ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the bequest, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A third is right; it is neither too little nor too much.
(6) Chapter: One who held it recommended to bequeath less than a third when he does not leave his heirs well-off, taking as evidence what we have narrated in the hadith of Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas
