The Shaykh : As for his last will, it is a specific will that does not extend to others, and it is his saying: "And when I die, bury me in a land where Bakr ibn Wail will not be aware of me, for I used to ambush them in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance". In the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, they were, as we all know, tribes, as some poets said: "They kill one another unjustly *** And fear no blame or sin"
Then this man embraced Islam, and naturally his Islam was good, but he feared that the pre-Islamic age of ignorance spirit might flare up in some of those he had ambushed in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance and killed, and Islam wipes out what came before it. He feared that if he were buried in a place, Bakr ibn Wail, or some of their people, would become aware of it and come to dig up his grave. So he willed that they bury him in a land that the Banu Bakr ibn Wail do not know, because they have a blood feud against him from the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. Their blood feud against him might be to dig up his grave, and this is not permissible in Islam. This is the last will that Qays ibn 'Asim (may Allah have mercy on him) made to his children. May we all take these wills of his as examples and act upon them. This is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
