(الوَصِيَّةُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ سَبَبٌ لِلْمَغْفِرَةِ)
(Making a will for the poor is a cause for forgiveness)
Hadith 3076
عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى وَصِيَّةٍ مَاتَ عَلَى سَبِيلٍ وَسُنَّةٍ وَمَاتَ عَلَى تُقًى وَشَهَادَةٍ وَمَاتَ مَغْفُورًا لَهُ» . رَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ
Jabir reported God’s Messenger as saying, “He who dies leaving a will has died following a path and a sunna, he has died piously and testifying to the true faith, and he has died with his sins forgiven.” Ibn Majah transmitted it.
