أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْفَحَّامُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَى سَعْدًا يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُوصِي بِثُلُثَىْ مَالِي قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَأُوصِي بِالنِّصْفِ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَأُوصِي بِالثُّلُثِ قَالَ نَعَمِ الثُّلُثَ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ أَوْ كَبِيرٌ إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَدَعَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَدَعَهُمْ فُقَرَاءَ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ

"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."

  • Dāraquṭnī

    يرويه هشام بن عروة واختلف عنه فرواه محمد بن ربيعة عن هشام عن أبيه عن عائشة ووهم في ذكر عائشة والصحيح عن هشام عن أبيه عن سعد كذلك رواه أصحاب هشام الحفاظ عن هشام

    machine translationHishām b. ʿUrwah narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Muḥammad b. Rabīʿah narrated it from Hishām, from his father, from ʿĀʾishah, but he erred in mentioning ʿĀʾishah. The correct version is from Hishām, from his father, from Saʿd. Likewise it was narrated by the memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) among Hishām's students, from Hishām.
