It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“The Muslim man has no right to spend two nights, if he has something for which will should be made, without having a written will with him.”

ARABIC

‏ مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَبِيتُ لَيْلَتَيْنِ وَلَهُ شَىْءٌ يُوصِي بِهِ إِلاَّ وَوَصِيَّتُهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ عِنْدَهُ ‏
