Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَهُ مَالٌ يُوصَى فِيهِ يَبِيتُ ثَلَاثًا إِلَّا وَوَصِيَّتُهُ عِنْدَهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَمَا بِتُّ لَيْلَةً مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُهَا إِلَّا وَوَصِيَّتِي عِنْدِي مَكْتُوبَةٌ.
English Translation
Kathir ibn Hisham told us, Ja'far ibn Burqan told us, al-Zuhri told us, from Salim, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "It is not right for a Muslim man who has something to bequeath to spend two nights without having his will written down with him." Abdullah said: "I have not spent a single night since I heard this without having my will written down with me."
