Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ غَضُّوا مِنْ الثُّلُثِ إِلَى الرُّبُعِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ.
English Translation
Ibn Abbas said: If only people would reduce the bequest from one-third to one-quarter, for the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'One-third is a lot.'
