وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُطِيعٍ، ثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ: فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثًا [قَالَ]:

فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ دَعَا بَنِيهِ فَقَالَ: يَا بَنِيَّ خُذُوا عَنِّي فَلَا أَحَدَ أَنْصَحُ لَكُمْ مِنِّي، إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَسَوِّدُوا أَكَابِرَكُمْ وَلَا تُسَوِّدُوا أَصَاغِرَكُمْ، فَيَسْتَسَفِّهَ النَّاسُ كِبَارَكُمْ وَتَهُونُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِاسْتِصْلَاحِ الْمَالِ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْبَهَةٌ لِلْكَرِيمِ وَيُسْتَغْنَى بِهِ عَنِ اللَّئِيمِ

✧ When death came to him, he called his sons and said: "O my sons, take from me, for no one is more sincere in advising you than I. When I die, give leadership to your elders and do not give leadership to your young ones, lest people consider your elders foolish and you become insignificant in their eyes. And be keen on improving wealth, for it is a means of honor for the generous and a means of being dispensed from the ignoble."
