2118. Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "It is not right for a Muslim man to spend two nights, having what he would will, without having his will written with him." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. A similar narration has been reported from Az-Zuhri, from Sālim, from Ibn 'Umar from the Prophet ﷺ.

Arabic text

٢١١٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ ‌أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ ‌نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا حَقُّ» امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَبِيتُ لَيْلَتَيْنِ وَلَهُ مَا يُوصِي فِيهِ إِلَّا وَوَصِيَّتُهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ عِنْدَهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ.

Commentary

If a man owes some money to someone, or is keeping a trust to be delivered to the rightful owner, then he is duty-bound to make a will in this regard. The will may as well be committed to writing, if necessary.
