حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى عَنْ طَلْحَةَ ابْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى هَلْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَوْصى قَالَ: لَا فَقُلْتُ: كَيْفَ كُتِبَ عَلَى النَّاس الْوَصِيَّةُ، أَوْ أُمِرُوا بِالْوَصِيَّةِ قَالَ: أَوْصى بِكِتَابِ اللهِ.
Talha bin Musarraf Narrated from:
I asked 'Abdullâh bin Abû 'Aûfa رضي الله عنهما, "Did the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم make a will?" He replied, "No." I asked him, "How is it then, that the making of a will has been enjoined on people, (or that they are ordered to make a will)?" He replied, "The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم bequeathed Allâh's Book (i.e. The Qur'ân)." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 3, Vol. 4 )
