حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: عَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ، فَقَالَ: أَوْصَيْتَ ، قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: بِكَمْ ، قُلْتُ: بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: فَمَا تَرَكْتَ لِوَلَدِكَ ؟ قُلْتُ: هُمْ أَغْنِيَاءُ بِخَيْرٍ، قَالَ: أَوْصِ بِالْعُشْرِ ، فَمَا زِلْتُ أُنَاقِصُهُ حَتَّى قَالَ: أَوْصِ بِالثُّلُثِ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: وَنَحْنُ نَسْتَحِبُّ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ. قَالَ: وَفِي الْبَاب، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: حَدِيثُ سَعْدٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ: وَالثُّلُثُ كَبِيرٌ ، وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ لَا يَرَوْنَ أَنْ يُوصِيَ الرَّجُلُ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ، وَيَسْتَحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ: كَانُوا يَسْتَحِبُّونَ فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ الْخُمُسَ دُونَ الرُّبُعِ، وَالرُّبُعَ دُونَ الثُّلُثِ، وَمَنْ أَوْصَى بِالثُّلُثِ فَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَجُوزُ لَهُ إِلَّا الثُّلُثُ.
Sa'd bin Malik said: The Messenger of Allah came to visit me while I was sick. He said: 'Do you have a will?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'For how much?' I said: 'All of my wealth, for the cause of Allah.' He said: 'What did you leave for your children?' He (Sa'd) said: They are rich in goodness.' He said: 'Will a tenth.' He (Sa'd) said: He (pbuh) continued decreasing it until he said: 'Will a third, and a third is too great.' (One of the narrators:) Abdur-Rahman said: We considered it recommended that it be less than a third, since the Messenger of Allah said: 'And a third is too great.'

"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."

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.'"
