حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْعَدَوِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ ثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ أَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُطَرِّفًا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ التَّمِيمِيِّ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَوْصَى عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ فَقَالَ
«بَنِيَّ اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَسَوِّدُوا أَكْبَرَكُمْ فَإِنَّ الْقَوْمَ إِذَا سَوَّدُوا أَكْبَرَهُمْ خُلِّفُوا أَبَاهُمْ وَإِذَا سَوَّدُوا أَصْغَرَهُمْ أَزْرِي بِهِم فِي أَكِفَّائِكُمْ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِاصْطِنَاعِ الْمَالِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْبَهَةٌ لِلْكَرَمِ وَيُسْتَغْنَى بِهِ عَنِ اللَّئِيمِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَمَسْأَلَةَ النَّاسِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ آخِرِ كَسْبِ الْمَرْءِ وَإِذَا مُتُّ فَلَا تَنُوحُوا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يُنَحْ عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا مُتُّ فَادْفِنُونِي بِأَرْضٍ لَا يَشْعُرُ بِدَفْنِي بَكْرُ بْنُ وَائِلٍ فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أُغَاوِلُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ»

✧ “My sons, 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 he is disparaged among your peers. You must acquire wealth, for it is a means of honor for the generous and by it one is made independent of the vile. Beware of begging from people, for it is the last of a man’s earnings. When I die, do not wail over me, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not wailed over. When I die, bury me in a land where Bakr b. Wa’il will not know of my burial, for I used to raid them in the Jahiliyyah.”
