" عَن العَلاءِ بنِ زِيادٍ قَالَ: جَاءَ شَيْخٌ إلَى عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤمِنِينَ أنَا شَيْخٌ كَبير، وإِنَ مالِى كَثيرٌ، وَيَرِثُنِى أَعْرَابٌ مَوالِى كَلاَلَة، أَفَأُوْصِى بمَالى كلِّهِ؟ قَال: لا، فَلَم يَزَلْ حَتَّى بَلَغَ العُشْرَ".

It is narrated from al-'Ala' ibn Ziyad who said: "An old man came to 'Umar and said: 'O Commander of the Believers, I am an old man, and my wealth is great, and my heirs are distant Bedouin kinsmen. Shall I bequeath all my wealth?' He said: 'No.' He kept saying so until he reached a tenth."
