Text and translation

English translation

3664. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said: "If the people were to reduce (their bequests) to one-quarter (of their wealth, that would be better), because the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'One-third, and one-third is much or large.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

3634 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: لَوْ غَضَّ النَّاسُ إِلَى الرُّبُعِ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الثُّلُثَ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ أَوْ كَبِيرٌ»
