Question : He bequeathed. He bequeathed.
Answer : It is not carried out. They are not required to carry it out. Even in our present time, this opens the door to harm, for everyone who wishes to be buried in al-Baqi'. If we were to say that we accept the bequest of everyone who bequeaths to be buried in al-Baqi', it would cause hardship for the people of Madinah, and hardship in transporting him.
