It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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.”

ARABIC

‏ مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَبِيتَ لَيْلَتَيْنِ وَلَهُ شَىْءٌ يُوصِي فِيهِ إِلاَّ وَوَصِيَّتُهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ عِنْدَهُ ‏
