[Machine] Fear Allah and treat the elderly among you with respect, for when a nation treats their elders with disrespect, they will be abandoned by their own children. Remember this as a reminder. And when I die, do not mourn for me, for even the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not mourned upon.  

أحمد:٢٠٦١٢حَدَّثَنَا 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 ﷻ وَسَوِّدُوا أَكْبَرَكُمْ فَإِنَّ الْقَوْمَ إِذَا سَوَّدُوا أَكْبَرَهُمْ خَلَفُوا أَبَاهُمْ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَإِذَا مُتُّ فَلَا تَنُوحُوا عَلَيَّ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يُنَحْ عَلَيْهِ
