praise and peace be upon him, nor was anyone more highly
respected than him in my eyes. His glory was such that I could not
look at his face for any length of time, so that if I were asked to
describe him I would be unable because I never looked at him long

6

things, and now I do not know what my condition is in that respect.
When I die do not let any mourner or fire attend my bier. When you
bury me throw the earth gently over me and stay near my grave for
as long as it takes to slaughter a camel and distribute its meat, so
that I should draw comfort from your presence and consider what
answer I shall make to the angels.‟"
