Talhah bin Musarrif narrates: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him): Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) make any bequest (wasiyyah)? He replied: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave anything about which he would make a bequest. I asked: Then why did he (peace and blessings be upon him) command people to make bequests, while he himself did not make one? He replied: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a bequest according to the Book of Allah, the Exalted. The narrator named Talhah says: Huzail bin Shurahbil says: Could Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) surpass someone about whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had made a bequest? Whereas Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was eager to know any command of Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and to accept it completely.
