حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ: قَالَ مَالِكٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مِغْوَلٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي طَلْحَةُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى: أَوْصَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قُلْتُ: فَكَيْفَ أَمَرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِالْوَصِيَّةِ وَلَمْ يُوصِ؟ قَالَ: " أَوْصَى بِكِتَابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " (١)، ،

English translation

Talhah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) make any will (wasiyyah)?" He replied, "No." I said, "Then how did he command the Muslims to make a will while he himself did not make one?" He replied, "The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) made a will to act upon the Book of Allah (but did not make any specific will to anyone)."
