أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَی أَوْصَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ کَيْفَ کَتَبَ عَلَی الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْوَصِيَّةَ قَالَ أَوْصَی بِکِتَابِ اللَّهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3655
Talha said: “I asked Ibn AbI Awfa: ‘Did the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم leave a will?’ He said: ‘No.’ I said: ‘How come it is prescribed for the Muslims to make wills?’ He said: ‘He left instructions urging the Muslims to adhere to the Book of Allah.” (Sahih)
