حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غَيْلَانَ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ حِينَ أَوْصَى، قَالَ: "نَشَهُّدُ هَذَا فَاشْهَدْ بِهِ: نَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَيُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ، وَيَكْفُرُ بِالطَّاغُوتِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ يَحْيَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، وَيَمُوتُ، وَيُبْعَثُ، وَأَوْصَى فِيمَا رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ فِيمَا تَرَكَ إِنْ حَدَثَ بِهِ حَدَثٌ وَهُوَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، إِنْ لَمْ يُغَيِّرْ شَيْئًا مِمَّا فِي هَذِهِ الْوَصِيَّةِ" .
It is narrated from Hafs bin Ghailan that when Mak’hool (may Allah have mercy on him) made his will, he said: We bear witness to this, you be witnesses to it, there is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, and Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. And whoever (servant) believes in Allah, rejects idols, then, insha’Allah, he will die upon this and will be raised upon this. And he made a will regarding the inheritance given by Allah: if any incident happens to them, then it should be done in this way, if they do not make any changes in it (i.e., if he himself does not make any changes before dying, then this will is enforceable).
