أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
لَوْ غَضَّ النَّاسُ إِلَى الرُّبُعِ؛ لَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ أَوْ كَبِيرٌ»

"If the people were to reduce (their bequests) to one-quarter (of their wealth, that would be better), because the Messenger of Allah said: 'One-third, and one-third is much or large.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3634)
