رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ مَا لَهُ مِنْ مَالِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ "ثُلُثُ مَالِهِ وَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَيْضاً".
Hammad ibn ʿIsa narrated from Shuayb ibn Yaʿqub from Abu Baṣir, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who dies - how much of his wealth he can bequeath. Imam عليه السلام said: "One-third of his wealth, and the same applies to a woman as well."
