English translation

3665. It was narrated from Muhammad bin Sa'd, from his father Sa'd bin Mâlik, that the Prophet ﷺ came to him when he was sick and he said: "I do not have any children apart from one daughter. Shall I bequeath all my wealth?" The Prophet ﷺ said: "No." He said: "Shall I bequeath half of it?" The Prophet ﷺ said: "No." He said: "Shall I bequeath one-third of it?" He said: "One-third, and one-third is much or large." (Sahîh)

3635 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَهُ وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي وَلَدٌ إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، فَأُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا»، قَالَ: فَأُوصِي بِنِصْفِهِ؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا»، قَالَ: فَأُوصِي بِثُلُثِهِ؟ قَالَ: «الثُّلُثَ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ»
