<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) It is permissible for a man to say he is suffering from pain and illness, by way of informing, not complaining.<br>
2) The more pious a person is, the greater the affliction he suffers, so that he will obtain greater rewards.<br>
3) It is recommended to consult knowledgeable people with regard to the writing of wills, which is beneficial for the deceased and his family. This is one of the ways for deepening the bond between the scholars and lay Muslims.
