Surah Al-Baqarah

كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ إِن تَرَكَ خَيْرًا ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ وَٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ۖ حَقًّا عَلَى ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ

Kutiba ‘alaikum iżā ḥaḍara aḥadakumul-mautu in taraka kahirā(n), al-waṣiyyatu lil-wālidaini wal-aqrabīna bil-ma‘rūf(i), ḥaqqan ‘alal-muttaqīn(a).

Prescribed for you when death approaches [any] one of you if he leaves wealth [is that he should make] a bequest for the parents and near relatives according to what is acceptable - a duty upon the righteous.
