حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: لَوْ غَضَّ النَّاسُ إِلَى الرُّبُعِ؛ لأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: الثُّلُثُ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ أَوْ كَبِيرٌ.
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
I recommended that people reduce the proportion of what they bequeath by will to the fourth (of the whole property), for Allâh's Messenger ﷺ said, "One-third, yet even one-third is too much." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 6, Vol. 4 )
