2740. Narrated Ṭalha bin Musarriḥ: I asked 'Abdullāh bin Abū Aūfa رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا, "Did the Prophet ﷺ make a will?" He replied, "No." I asked him, "How is it then that the making of a will has been enjoined on people (or that they are ordered to make a will)?" He replied, "The Prophet ﷺ bequeathed Allāh's Book (i.e., the Qur'an)."

Arabic text

2740 - حَدَّثَنَا خَلَّادُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ هُوَ ابْنُ مِغْوَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ مُصَرِّفٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا هَلْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْصَى؟ فَقَالَ: «لاَ»، فَقُلْتُ: كَيْفَ كُتِبَ عَلَى النَّاسِ الوَصِيَّةُ أَوْ أُمِرُوا بِالوَصِيَّةِ؟ قَالَ: «أَوْصَى بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ»
