2 hadiths
Hadith 1

رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلصَّبَّاحِ اَلْكِنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْوَصِيَّةِ فَقَالَ "هِيَ حَقٌّ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ ".

Muhammad ibn Al-Fudayl narrated from Abu Al-Sabbah Al-Kinani from Abu Abdullah Imam Al-Sadiq (a.s), who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about making a will. Imam (a.s) said: "It is a duty upon every Muslim."

Hadith 2

وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "اَلْوَصِيَّةُ حَقٌّ وَ قَدْ أَوْصَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَيَنْبَغِي لِلْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يُوصِيَ ".

Al-Ala' narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said that Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) said: "Making a will is a duty, and the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) indeed made a will. Therefore, it is appropriate for a Muslim to make a will."
