English Translation

It was narrated from Hakam ibn Qays ibn 'Asim, from his father (may Allah be pleased with him), that he advised his children on his deathbed, saying: 'Fear Allah the Exalted and honour your eldest, for when a people honour their eldest they succeed their father. And when I die, do not wail over me, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not wailed over.'
