English Translation
Abu Hayyan Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated from his father that al-Rabi' ibn Khuthaym wrote his bequest: 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This is what al-Rabi' ibn Khuthaym has bequeathed, and I call Allah as witness - and Allah is sufficient as a witness and a rewarder of His righteous servants - that I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, Islam as my religion, and Muhammad (peace be upon him) as my Prophet. I command myself and whoever obeys me to worship Allah among the worshippers, to praise Him among those who praise, and to sincerely advise the community of Muslims.'
