وعنه
أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «ما حق امرئ مسلم، له شئ يوصي فيه، يبيت ليلتين إلا ووصيته مكتوبة عنده» وفى رواية لمسلم» يبيت ثلاث ليال: قال ابن عمر: ما مرت على ليلة منذ سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ذلك إلا وعندي وصيتي
Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “It is the duty of a Muslim who has something which is to be given as a bequest not to have it for two nights without executing a written will.”. In the narration of Muslim it is narrated as ‘three nights’. Ibn Umar (radiyallahu anhum) said: Since I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) say this, I have never spent a night without having my will with me.
