Hadith.5426 - Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Murazim from Ammar Al-Sabaṭi from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), who said
"The deceased has the most right over his wealth as long as his soul remains in him and he can express himself." Imam (as) then said: "But if he exceeds (in his bequest), he is entitled only to one-third."
5426 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"اَلْمَيِّتُ أَحَقُّ بِمَالِهِ مَا دَامَ فِيهِ اَلرُّوحُ يُبِينُ بِهِ" قَالَ "فَإِنْ تَعَدَّى فَلَيْسَ لَهُ إِلاَّ اَلثُّلُثُ".
