ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad narrated to us: Wakīʿ narrated to us, from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, from his father, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: I wish people would reduce the bequest from one-third to one-quarter, because the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “One-third is substantial”—or he said, “a lot.”
