when the trusts were eaten by the trustees and guardians and the adjusters and money changers graze on them it was necessary to preserve them and bury them. it was better for the earth to eat them than for the traitorous wicked and treacherous person to eat them. this is in line with what aktham bin saifi said in that era
وحين أكلت الأمانات الأمناء والأوصياء، ورتع فيها المعدلون والصرافون ٣ ، وجب حفظها ودفنها، وكان أكل الأرض لها خيرا من أكل الخؤون الفاجر واللئيم الغادر. وهذا مع قول أكثم بن صيفي في ذلك الدهر
