باب فَضْلِ الْوَصِيَّةِ:Chapter on the virtue of making a will
Hadith 3211
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: كَانَ يُقَالُ: "مَنْ أَوْصَى بِوَصِيَّةٍ فَلَمْ يَجُرْ، وَلَمْ يَحِفْ، كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ الْأَجْرِ مِثْلُ مَا أَنْ لَوْ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ فِي حَيَاتِهِ".
Imam Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is said that whoever makes a will in which there is no injustice or excess, then for him is the same reward as if he had given charity during his lifetime.
