"I recommend my wife, children, my friends and all
those who love me to supplicate for me after my death, that Allah the Almighty
forgive my sins for me and put me in His Mercy, and that they should not grieve
over my death by raising their voices with crying.
They should hasten to bury me and not inform all
my families, accept those who will carry out the responsibility of preparing my
dead body. I want Izzat Khidr Abu Abdullah, my neighbour and my dear friend, to
wash my body.
I want to be buried at the closest place possible
in order to make it easy upon the people and I want to be buried in an old
graveyard in a grave that will not be raised up. Also, whoever is in the city
in which I died should not inform those who are outside the city whether they
are my children or my loved ones, until after my burial in order to avoid delay
in my burial, due to emotions.
I also recommend that everything in my library
should be given to the Islaamic University in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah. That is
because of the good memories that I have with them during my days of teaching
in the university and calling to the Book of Allah and Sunnah according to the
methodology of the Pious Predecessors, hoping that Allah the Almighty will
allow those who read them to benefit from them and make me benefit from them
with their sincerity and supplications.
O Allah help me to be thankful for the bounties
you bestowed on me and on my parents and to do righteous deeds that will please
you and to rectify the affair of my family, verily I repent to you and I am
from among the Muslims.”
From
the book: “With our Shaikh, the Upholder of the Sunnah and the Religion,
Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaanee” (pages 27-28)
