وَحَدَّثَنِى زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنِى مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ مَرِضْتُ فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقُلْتُ دَعْنِى أَقْسِمْ مَالِى حَيْثُ شِئْتُ فَأَبَى. قُلْتُ فَالنِّصْفُ فَأَبَى. قُلْتُ فَالثُّلُثُ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ بَعْدَ الثُّلُثِ. قَالَ فَكَانَ بَعْدُ الثُّلُثُ جَائِزًا.
Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrated that his father said: "I fell sick and I sent word to the Prophet (s.a.w). I said: 'Let me divide my wealth as I wish,' but he refused. I said: 'Then half?' And he refused. I said: 'Then one-third?"' He (the narrator) said: "He remained silent after one-third." He said: "After that, one-third was permissible."

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
