It is not proper for a Muslim who has got something to bequeathe 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ say this I have not spent a night without having my will (written) along with me.

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ 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 ﷺ قَالَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ وَعِنْدِي وَصِيَّتِي

"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."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ تَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِ ثَلاَثُ لَيَالٍ إِلاَّ وَعِنْدَهُ وَصِيَّتُهُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ مَا مَرَّتْ عَلَىَّ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ وَعِنْدِي وَصِيَّتِي

"It is not right for a Muslim who has anything concerning which a will should be made, to abide for more than three nights without having a written will with him."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَهُ شَىْءٌ يُوصَى فِيهِ فَيَبِيتُ ثَلاَثَ لَيَالٍ إِلاَّ وَوَصِيَّتُهُ عِنْدَهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "No Muslim should have three nights pass by him without having his will with him."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ تَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثُ لَيَالٍ إِلَّا وَوَصِيَّتُهُ عِنْدَهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A Muslim who has wealth that can be bequeathed should not spend three nights without having his will written and kept with him." Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Since I heard this, I have not spent a night without keeping my will written with me."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَهُ مَالٌ يُوصَى فِيهِ يَبِيتُ ثَلَاثًا إِلَّا وَوَصِيَّتُهُ عِنْدَهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَمَا بِتُّ لَيْلَةً مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُهَا إِلَّا وَوَصِيَّتِي عِنْدِي مَكْتُوبَةٌ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is not permissible for a Muslim that three nights should pass by him without having a will written."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ تَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثُ لَيَالٍ إِلَّا وَوَصِيَّتُهُ عِنْدَهُ»

"It is not right for a Muslim who has anything concerning which a will should be made, to abide for more than three nights without having a written will with him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3619)

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَهُ شَيْءٌ يُوصَى فِيهِ يَبِيتُ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ إِلَّا وَوَصِيَّتُهُ عِنْدَهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ»

[AI] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The right of a Muslim individual is that he does not spend two nights without having his will written with him about anything he may own."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَهُ شَيْءٌ يُوصِي فِيهِ يَبِيتُ لَيْلَتَيْنِ إِلَّا وَوَصِيَّتُهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ عِنْدَهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is not befitting for a Muslim to have something that he wishes to advise on and go to sleep for three nights without having his will written with him." Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "No night has passed since I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say this, except that I have my will with me."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَهُ شَيْءٌ يُوصِي فِيهِ يَبِيتُ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ إِلَّا وَوَصِيَّتُهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ مَا مَرَّتْ عَلَيَّ لَيْلَةٌ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا وَعِنْدِي وَصِيَّتِي

"مَا حَقُّ امْرِئ مُسْلم لَهُ شَيء يُوصى فيه يَبِيتُ ثَلاثَ لَيَالي إِلَّا وَوَصيتهُ عنْدَهُ مَكْتُوبَة".
