حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى: أَوْصَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ: " لَا "، قُلْتُ: فَكَيْفَ أَمْرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِالْوَصِيَّةِ؟ قَالَ: " أَوْصَى بِكِتَابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " (٤)، ، قَالَ مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ: قَالَ طَلْحَةُ: وَقَالَ الْهُزَيْلُ بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: كَانَ يَتَأَمَّرُ عَلَى وَصِيِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَدَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهْدًا فَخُزِمَ أَنْفُهُ بِخِزَامٍ،

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)."
