Is it understood from Ibn 'Umar's statement that he writes his will every night?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Abu 'Umar, Ibn 'Umar's statement is a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "I have not spent a night since I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) [say this] without my will being written."

The Shaykh : No, the meaning is that whenever I acquire anything, I update my will regarding it and write it down.

The questioner : Nothing else goes in.

The Shaykh : Except my will, meaning that from the time I heard this hadith, I wrote it. So he does not spend a night without his will being written with him. There is nothing [else]. If he wrote it, for example, on Sunday night and Monday night comes, it is written with him.

The questioner : I do not write it, grandfather.

The Shaykh : No, no, he does not update it, but if he changes something in it or wants to make a change or modification, he changes it.

The questioner : Faith, will, will.

The Shaykh : Even though he is a scholar.

The questioner : I have no objection.

The Shaykh : There is nothing on him.

The questioner : May Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh : There is nothing [else]; he bequeaths the fear of Allah.
