عَنْ طَلْحَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَوْصَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ أَمَرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِالْوَصِيَّةِ وَلَمْ يُوصِ قَالَ أَوْصَى بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I said to Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Awf (may Allah be pleased with him): Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) make any bequest? He said: He did not. I said: Then why did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) command the believers to make a bequest, while he himself did not make one? He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made a bequest regarding the Book of Allah (i.e., to hold firmly to it).
