Sahih Muslim 1627d (Book 25, Hadith 4) #11345
Writing Down Your Will

SUMMARY: It is important for a Muslim to have their will written down in case something happens to them.

Salim reported on the authority of his father ('Abdullah b. Umar) that he (his father) had heard Allah's Messenger as saying: It is not proper for a Muslim who has got something to bequeath to spend even three nights without having his will written down with him regarding it'.Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) said: Ever since I heard Allah's Messenger say this I have not spent a night without having my will (written) along with me.
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، - وَهْوَ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ - عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَهُ شَىْءٌ يُوصِي فِيهِ يَبِيتُ ثَلاَثَ لَيَالٍ إِلاَّ وَوَصِيَّتُهُ عِنْدَهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ مَا مَرَّتْ عَلَىَّ لَيْلَةٌ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ وَعِنْدِي وَصِيَّتِي
