End of a letter conveying greetings to all family members ('father, mother, sister, uncle, aunt, and anyone else under your care') of the addressee. Conveying the heartsickness (fasting, weeping) of everyone at home and telling the addressee that attaining the world (al-dunyā) will not be worth this if a certain woman in the house (his mother?) dies in his absence.
