[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A man entered Paradise for his deeds and never did any good. 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."

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

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."

"إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ رَغَسَهَ اللَّهُ مالًا، فَقَالَ لِبَنِيهِ لَمَّا حُضِرَ، أى أبٍ كُنْتُ لكم؟ قالوا: خَيْرَ أبٍ، قال: إِنِّى لَمْ أَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَط، فإِذَا مِتُ فَأَحْرقُونِى ثُمَّ اسْحَقُونى ثُمَّ ذَرُّونى في يومٍ عاصفِ فَفَعَلُوا، فَجَمَعهُ اللَّهُ فقال: مَا حَمَلَكَ على ما فعلت؟ قال: مَخَافَتُكَ، فَتَلَقَّاهُ رحْمَتُه".
