Sunan Abi Dawud 1605 (Book 9, Hadith 50) #21897
Estimating with Generosity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad commanded people to leave a third or quarter of their estimation when estimating something.

AbdurRahman ibn Mas'ud said: Sahl ibn Abu Hathmah came to our gathering. He said: The Messenger of Allah commanding us said: When you estimate take them leaving a third, and if you do not leave or find a third, leave a quarter.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ إِلَى مَجْلِسِنَا قَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا خَرَصْتُمْ فَخُذُوا وَدَعُوا الثُّلُثَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَدَعُوا أَوْ تَجِدُوا الثُّلُثَ فَدَعُوا الرُّبُعَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْخَارِصُ يَدَعُ الثُّلُثَ لِلْحِرْفَةِ
