[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ visited him while he was in Makkah and he had only one daughter. So, I said to him, "I only have one daughter, should I bequeath all of my wealth?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "No." I asked, "Should I bequeath half of it?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "No." I asked, "Should I bequeath one-third of it?" He replied, "Yes."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَأُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا» قُلْتُ فَأُوصِي بِالنِّصْفِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا» قَالَ فَأُوصِي بِالثُّلُثِ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ»
