Hadith 1634
This hadith is listed as number 4227 in Maktaba Shamila
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ يَحْيَي التَّمِيمِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ ، قَالَ : " سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى ، هَلْ أَوْصَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : لَا ، قُلْتُ : فَلِمَ كُتِبَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْوَصِيَّةُ أَوْ فَلِمَ أُمِرُوا بِالْوَصِيَّةِ ؟ ، قَالَ : أَوْصَى بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " ،
Talha bin Musarrif reported: I asked 'Abdullah bin Abu Aufa whether Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had made any will (in regard to his property). He said: No. I said: Then why has making of will been made necessary for the Muslims, or why were they commanded to make will? Thereupon he said: He made the will according to the Book of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic.
