ahmad:11096Muʿāwiyah b. Hishām > Shaybān Abū Muʿāwiyah > Firās b. Yaḥyá al-Hamdānī

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A man entered Paradise for the good he had never done before. When death approached him, he said to his family, 'When I die, burn me, then crush me, and scatter half of me in the sea and half on land.' Then Allah commanded the land and the sea to collect his remains. Then He asked, 'What made you do what you did?' He replied, 'Out of fear and awe of You.' Allah forgave him because of this."  

أحمد:١١٠٩٦حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا فِرَاسُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْهَمْدَانِيُّ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَقَدْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ الْجَنَّةَ مَا عَمِلَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ حِينَ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي ثُمَّ اسْحَقُونِي ثُمَّ اذْرُوا نِصْفِي فِي الْبَحْرِ وَنِصْفِي فِي الْبَرِّ فَأَمَرَ اللهُ الْبَرَّ وَالْبَحْرَ فَجَمَعَاهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ مَخَافَتُكَ قَالَ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ

When death approached him, he said to his family, 'When I die, burn me, then crush me, then scatter half of my ashes in the sea and half on land.' But Allah commanded both the land and the sea to collect and gather him. Then Allah asked him, 'What made you do what you did?' He said, 'Out of fear of You.' Allah forgave him because of that."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There was a man from among those before you who used to commit sins. When death approached him, he said to his family: "If I die, burn me, then grind me into powder and scatter me in the sea on a stormy day." When he died, his family did as he had instructed. Then Allah gathered him in His hand and asked him: "What made you do what you did?" He replied: "Out of fear of You." Allah said: "Indeed, I have forgiven you."
