حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ سَمِعْتُ مُطَرِّفًا عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ
أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَوْصَى عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ بَنِيهِ فَقَالَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَسَوِّدُوا أَكْبَرُكُمْ فَإِنَّ الْقَوْمَ إِذَا سَوَّدُوا أَكْبَرَهُمْ خَلَفُوا أَبَاهُمْ وَإِذَا سَوَّدُوا أَصْغَرَهُمْ أَزْرَى بِهِمْ ذَلِكَ فِي أَكْفَائِهِمْ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمَالِ وَاصْطِنَاعِهِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْبَهَةٌ لِلْكَرِيمِ وَيُسْتَغْنَى بِهِ عَنِ اللَّئِيمِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَمَسْأَلَةَ النَّاسِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ آخِرِ كَسْبِ الرَّجُلِ وَإِذَا مُتُّ فَلاَ تَنُوحُوا فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُنَحْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِذَا مُتُّ فَادْفِنُونِي بِأَرْضٍ لاَ يَشْعُرُ بِدَفْنِي بَكْرُ بْنُ وَائِلٍ فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أُغَافِلُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ
Translation
Chain of narrators
- Hakim ibn Qays ibn 'Asim reported that when his father was dying, he enjoined his sons:
✧ That his father, at the time of his death, enjoined his sons, saying: "Fear Allah and make your eldest your leader, for when a people make their eldest their leader, they succeed their father, but when they make their youngest their leader, that diminishes them in the eyes of their peers. And hold onto wealth and its acquisition, for it is a means of honor for the noble and a means of independence from the vile. And beware of asking people, for it is the last resort of a man's earning. And when I die, do not wail, for there was no wailing over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. And when I die, bury me in a land where Bakr b. Wāʾil will not be aware of my burial, for I used to take them by surprise in the days of ignorance."
