He asked, Then a half. He replied, no. He asked, Then one-third? He replied, (you may will away) a third, and third is a lot. To leave your heirs rich is better than to leave them poor begging from people. You will not spend anything, seeking thereby to please Allah, without being rewarded for it, even the mouthful you give your wife. I said, Apostle of Allah هللا عليه و آله وسلم),(صلى shall I be left behind from immigration (to Madina)? He said, if you remain behind after me and do good works seeking the pleasure of Allah, your rank will be raised and degree increased. Perhaps you will not remain behind, and some people will benefit from you and others will be harmed by you. He then said, O Allah, complete the immigration of my Companions and do not turn them back.

He added, provided he is not storing up goods (for himself). The surplus fruit will be devoted to the beggar and the deprived. He then went on with the tradition, saying, if the man in charge of Thamgh wishes to buy a slave for his work for its fruits (by selling them), he may do so. Mu'iqib penned it and 'Abdullah bin Al-Arqam witnessed it: In 9
