Sunan Ibn Majah 2699 (Book 22, Hadith 5) #32053
Writing a Will for Muslims

SUMMARY: The Muslim man should have a written will if he has something to bequeath.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah said: "The Muslim man has no right to spend two nights, if he has something for which a will should be made, without having a written will with him".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَبِيتَ لَيْلَتَيْنِ وَلَهُ شَىْءٌ يُوصِي فِيهِ إِلاَّ وَوَصِيَّتُهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ عِنْدَهُ
