Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It was mentioned in the commentary that the intention is that it is possible that the meaning is "I will not disturb them by anyone," meaning I will not dig them up to bury someone. Does this mean?
The Shaykh : If so, the wealth would be hers, and she would prevent anyone who asks permission to be buried with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and her father from doing so. She would not announce it to her, nor would she disturb her grave for herself.
The questioner : With your children.
The Shaykh : No, do not give this word that meaning. "I will not prefer them"—if it were "I will not prefer them," she would have said "I will not prefer them." And where is the disturbing?
The questioner : And it is said that it is inverted.
The Shaykh : But what is the meaning? What is the meaning is that she does not give permission to anyone because she does not want to disturb anyone for his sake. But when 'Umar died, and she loved 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), she preferred him over herself.
The questioner : The first hadith prevents, first of all, that she does not want.
The Shaykh : She fears that it will be praised. Perhaps this is also after she intended to take for herself, she feared being praised.
