1714 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz told me; Ḍamrah wrote to us, from Rajāʾ ibn Abī Salamah, who said: When ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz passed away, ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz sent letters to all the provinces forbidding any wailing over him. In those letters he wrote: “Allah—Exalted is He—desired to take him, and I seek refuge in Allah from opposing what He loves.”
١٧١٤ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: كَتَبَ إِلَيْنَا ضَمْرَةُ، عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: لَمَّا مَاتَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ كَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ إِلَى الْأَمْصَارِ يَنْهَى أَنْ يُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ وَكَتَبَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ – Exalté soit-Il – أَحَبَّ قَبْضَهُ وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أُخَالِفَ مَحَبَّتَهُ "
