Explanation of his saying: "When I die, do not wail over me; for no wailing was ever done over the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."

The Shaykh: This is also part of the man's will: "When I die, do not wail over me; for no wailing was ever done over the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). And when I die, bury me in a place where Bakr ibn Wail will not feel my burial; for I used to be heedless of them during the pre-Islamic age of ignorance."
Here is a word that one should have paused to discuss, but time is short, so we say that the man's will in his saying, "When I die, do not wail over me," means: when the certainty of death comes to me, do not cry over me with loud screaming. Crying with loud screaming is wailing, and this is forbidden in Islam, especially if the wailing is done by women. As for crying with tears out of sadness, that is permissible, and it is a natural and innate matter. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wept over some of his children, including Ibrahim and his daughter Zaynab (peace be upon him). But this crying was crying of mercy and sadness at parting, and it was not wailing and screaming like the screaming of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance.
This is the last will that this man left for his children, and every one of these wills is valid to be a will for every individual among the Muslims.
