2744. Narrated Sa'd رضي الله عنه: I fell sick and the Prophet ﷺ paid me a visit. I said to him, "O Allāh's Messenger! I invoke Allāh that He may not let me expire in the land whence I migrated (i.e., Makkah)." He said, "May Allāh give you health and let the people benefit by you." I said, "I want to will my property, and I have only one daughter and I want to will half of my property (to be given in charity).” He said, “Half is too much.” I said, “Then I will one-third.” He said, “One-third, yet even one-third is too much.” (The narrator added, “So the people started to will one-third of their property and that was permitted for them.”)
