13.34.2

وعادتهم أن يجعلوا نعل الميت عند قبره فوق متكأة، وكان اذا وصل القبر خدم له كما كان يخدم أيام حياته، وكان يعظم زوجته ويدعوها بالأخت وجعلها مع حرمه، وزوجها بعد ذلك لابن قاضي مصر، واعتنى به من أجلها وكان يمضي لزيارتها في كل جمعة.

It is their custom to place the dead man's sandal by his grave on a cushion. When he reached the grave he made obeisance to it as he used to make obeisance in his lifetime. He honoured his widow, called her "sister" and placed her among his own women; afterwards he married her to the son of the qāḍī of Miṣr, and favoured him on her account, and he used to go to visit her every Friday.
