"عَنْ أَبِى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِىِّ قَالَ علىٌّ: مَرِضْتُ مَرَضًا فَعَادَنِى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: هَل أَوْصَيْتَ؟ قُلتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: كيْفَ؟ قُلْتُ: أَوْصَيْتُ بِمَالِى كُلِّهِ، قَالَ: فمَا تَرَكْتَ لِوَرَثَتِكَ؟ قُلْتُ: إِنَّهُمْ أَغْنِيَاءُ، قَالَ: أَوصِ بِالْعُشْرِ، واتْرُكْ سَائِرَهُ لِوَرَثَتِكَ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! إِنِّى تَركْتُ وَرَثَتِى أَغْنيَاءَ بِخَيرٍ، فَمَا زَالَ حَتَّى قَالَ: أَوصِ بِالثُّلُث والثُّلث كَثِير. قَالَ أبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحَمنِ السُّلَمِىَّ: فَمِنْ ثَمَّ كَانُوا يَسْتَحْيُونَ أَنْ يَتْرُكُوا مِنَ الثُّلُثِ".

"On the authority of Abu 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, who said: Ali said: I fell ill with an illness, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited me and said: Have you made a bequest? I said: Yes. He said: How? I said: I have bequeathed all my wealth. He said: What have you left for your heirs? I said: They are wealthy. He said: Bequeath a tenth and leave the rest to your heirs. I said: O Messenger of Allah, I have left my heirs wealthy in goodness. He continued until he said: Bequeath a third, and a third is a lot. Abu 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami said: For this reason they used to be shy of leaving anything from the third."
