قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا أُمَيَّةُ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ خَالِدٍ - ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، [ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ] قَالَ:

إِنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ عَاصِمٍ أَوْصَى بَنِيهِ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ، فَقَالَ: أُوصِيكُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ تَعَالَى، وَسَوِّدُوا أَكْبَرَكُمْ، فَإِنَّ الْقَوْمَ إِذَا سَوَّدُوا أَكْبَرَهُمْ خَلَفُوا آبَاءَهُمْ، وَإِذَا سَوَّدُوا أَصْغَرَهُمْ أُزْرِيَ بِهِمْ فِي أَكْفَائِهِمْ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِاصْطِنَاعِ الْمَالِ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْبَهَةٌ لِلْكَرِيمِ، وَيُسْتَغْنَى بِهِ عَنِ اللَّئِيمِ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْمَسْأَلَةَ

✧ Qays b. ʿĀṣim bequeathed to his sons at the time of his death, saying: "I enjoin upon you the fear of Allah Almighty. Give leadership to your eldest, for when a people give leadership to their eldest, they succeed their fathers; but when they give leadership to their youngest, they are belittled among their peers. I also enjoin you to acquire wealth, for it is a means of honor for the generous and a means of being dispensed from the ignoble. And beware of begging."
