Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ قَالَ مَالِكٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مِغْوَلٍ أَخْبَرَنِي طَلْحَةُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى أَوْصَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ أَمَرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِالْوَصِيَّةِ وَلَمْ يُوصِ قَالَ أَوْصَى بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
English Translation
Hajjaj narrated to us, he said: Malik, that is Ibn Mighwal, said: Talhah informed me, he said: I said to Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa: Did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, leave a testament? He said: No. I said: Then how did he command the believers to make testaments while he himself did not make one? He said: He left as his testament the Book of Allah, Mighty and Sublime.
