English translation

3661. It was narrated that Saʿd bin Abī Waqqāṣ said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ visited me when I was sick, and said: 'Have you made a will?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'How much?' I said: 'For all of my wealth to be given in the cause of Allāh.' He said: 'What have you left for your children?' I said: 'They are rich (independent of means).' He said: 'Bequeath one-tenth.' And we kept discussing it until he said: 'Bequeath one-third, and one-third is much or large.'" (Ḥasan)

3631 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، قَالَ: عَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَرَضِي، فَقَالَ: «أَوْصَيْتَ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «بِكَمْ؟» قُلْتُ: بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «فَمَا تَرَكْتَ لِوَلَدِكَ؟» قُلْتُ: هُمْ أَغْنِيَاءُ، قَالَ: «أَوْصِ بِالْعُشْرِ»، فَمَا زَالَ يَقُولُ وَأَقُولُ حَتَّى قَالَ: «أَوْصِ بِالثُّلُثِ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ أَوْ كَبِيرٌ»
