Commander of the Faithful (as) said: "Bequeathing one-fifth (khums) is recommended because Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has chosen one-fifth for Himself." Imam (as) also said: "One-fifth is moderation, one-fourth is exertion, and one-third is injustice."

قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "اَلْوَصِيَّةُ بِالْخُمُسِ لِأَنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رَضِيَ لِنَفْسِهِ بِالْخُمُسِ " وَ قَالَ "اَلْخُمُسُ اِقْتِصَادٌ وَ اَلرُّبُعُ جَهْدٌ وَ اَلثُّلُثُ حَيْفٌ".

Hadith 454
Hadith.5423 - Aṣim ibn Humayd narrated from Muhammad ibn Qays from Abu Jafar mam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said
"The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) used to say: 'To bequeath one-fifth of my wealth is more beloved to me than to bequeath one-fourth, and to bequeath one-fourth is more beloved to me than to bequeath one-third. Whoever bequeaths one-third without leaving anything behind has gone to excess.'" Imam (as) also said: "Whoever bequeaths one-third of his wealth without leaving anything has reached the limit."
5423 - وَ رَوَى عَاصِمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
كَانَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ : "لَأَنْ أُوصِيَ بِخُمُسِ مَالِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُوصِيَ بِالرُّبُعِ وَ لَأَنْ أُوصِيَ بِالرُّبُعِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُوصِيَ بِالثُّلُثِ وَ مَنْ أَوْصَى بِالثُّلُثِ فَلَمْ يَتَّرِكْ فَقَدْ بَالَغَ" وَ قَالَ "مَنْ أَوْصَى بِثُلُثِ مَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ فَقَدْ بَلَغَ اَلْمَدَى".

Hadith.5424 - In the narration of Al-Hasan ibn Ali Al-Washsha' from Hammad ibn Uthman from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), that he said: "Whoever bequeaths one-third has harmed the heirs. Bequeathing one-fifth or one-fourth is better than bequeathing one-third." Imam (as) also said
"Whoever bequeaths one-third without leaving anything behind has gone to excess."
5424 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ اَلْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"مَنْ أَوْصَى بِالثُّلُثِ فَقَدْ أَضَرَّ بِالْوَرَثَةِ وَ اَلْوَصِيَّةُ بِالْخُمُسِ وَ اَلرُّبُعِ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ اَلْوَصِيَّةِ بِالثُّلُثِ" وَ قَالَ "مَنْ أَوْصَى بِالثُّلُثِ فَلَمْ يَتَّرِكْ".
