حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، وَحَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: سَمِعْتُ مُطَرِّفَ بْنَ الشِّخِّيرِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ أَوْصَى وَلَدَهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ، قَالَ: " اتَّقُوا اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَسَوِّدُوا أَكْبَرَكُمْ، فَإِنَّ الْقَوْمَ إِذَا سَوَّدُوا أَكْبَرَهُمْ، خَلَفُوا أَبَاهُمْ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، وَإِذَا مُتُّ فَلَا تَنُوحُوا عَلَيَّ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يُنَحْ عَلَيْهِ " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
Qais bin Asim, before his death, advised his children, saying: Fear Allah, appoint the eldest among you as the leader, because when a people appoint their elder as the chief, he proves to be the successor of their father... And when I die, do not wail over me, because wailing was not done over the Prophet (peace be upon him) either.
