The Importance of Having a Will

SUMMARY: It is important for Muslims to always have their will with them.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Umar that the Prophet said: "It is not befitting for a Muslim to abide for three nights without having his will with him"'.Abdullah bin 'Umar said: "Since I heard this from the Messenger of Allah, I have always had my will with me".
أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ فَإِنَّ سَالِمًا أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ تَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِ ثَلاَثُ لَيَالٍ إِلاَّ وَعِنْدَهُ وَصِيَّتُهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ مَا مَرَّتْ عَلَىَّ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ وَعِنْدِي وَصِيَّتِي‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Have your own will prepared in case something happens unexpectedly

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of having a will, or testament, for Muslims. A will is an important document that states what should happen to one's possessions and assets after they pass away. In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad said that it is not befitting for a Muslim to abide for three nights without having his will with him. Abdullah bin Umar then said that since he heard this from the Messenger of Allah, he has always had his will with him. This shows how seriously Abdullah bin Umar took this advice and how important it was to him to have his own will prepared in case something happened to him unexpectedly. This hadith teaches us that we should all take responsibility and make sure our wills are prepared so our families can be taken care of when we are no longer here.
