حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ : أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ ، وَلَيْسَ لَهُ إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : " إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، فَأُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا، قُلْتُ : فَأُوصِي بِالنِّصْفِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا، قَالَ : فَأُوصِي بِالثُّلُثِ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :الثُّلُثُ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ "

Abu Al-Walid Al-Tayalisi narrated to us, Hammam narrated to us, Qatada narrated to us, on the authority of Yunus bin Jubayr, on the authority of Muhammad bin Saad, on the authority of his father: The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, entered upon him while he was in Mecca, and he had only one daughter. I said to him: “I have only one daughter, so I will make a bequest of my money.” All of it? Then the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: No. I said: Should I bequeath half? So the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to him: No. He said: Should I bequeath a third? He said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: A third, and a third is a lot.
