Death
Legend says that when Qais Abdur Rashid felt his time was near, he asked his sons to take him from Ghor to the Sulaiman Mountains to bury him at the spot where his ancestor Malak Afghana was buried, and he was buried on top of the Kesai Ghar ("Mount of Qais"), located in the Zhob District of Balochistan. Some people visit the place and make animal sacrifices, usually a sheep or a goat, at the tomb of Qais as to help feed the poor. Nearly all major Pashtun tribes are said to be the progeny of his sons and daughters.
