“A few moments after the Juma prayer, I heard some noise in the neighborhood and people struggle with something heavy. I was asked to enter the inner room and give them some privacy.
“I stopped. People came in with his corpse and started asking me to leave everything to Allah. They said it was Allah's will that he die in such a way. I collapsed immediately.
“During the 34 years we spent together, we never argued, not even for a day. He meant everything to me. "
