English Translation

'Amir ibn Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas narrated from his father Sa'd (رضي الله عنه) who said: 'I said: O Messenger of Allah, shall I bequeath all my wealth? He said: No. I said: Then two-thirds? He said: No. I said: Then half? He said: No. I said: Then one-third? He said: One-third, and one-third is much. For one of you to leave his family in a good state is better for him than to leave them dependent on people's hands.'
