The Prophet ﷺ mentioned a man from the previous generation or from the people preceding your age whom Allah had given both wealth and children. The Prophet ﷺ said, "When the time of his death approached, he asked his children, 'What type of father have I been to you?' They replied: You have been a good father. He said, 'But he (i.e. your father) has not stored any good deeds with Allah (for the Hereafter): if he should face Allah, Allah will punish him. So listen, (O my children), when I die, burn my body till I become mere coal and then grind it into powder, and when there is a stormy wind, throw me (my ashes) in it.' So he took a firm promise from his children (to follow his instructions). And by Allah they (his sons) did accordingly(fulfilled their promise.) Then Allah said, "Be"' and behold! That man was standing there! Allah then said. "O my slave! What made you do what you did?" That man said, "Fear of You." So Allah forgave him.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ذَكَرَ رَجُلاً فِيمَنْ كَانَ سَلَفَ أَوْ قَبْلَكُمْ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالاً وَوَلَدًا يَعْنِي أَعْطَاهُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا حُضِرَ قَالَ لِبَنِيهِ أَىَّ أَبٍ كُنْتُ قَالُوا خَيْرَ أَبٍ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْتَئِرْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرًا فَسَّرَهَا قَتَادَةُ لَمْ يَدَّخِرْ وَإِنْ يَقْدَمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ يُعَذِّبْهُ فَانْظُرُوا فَإِذَا مُتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي حَتَّى إِذَا صِرْتُ فَحْمًا فَاسْحَقُونِي أَوْ قَالَ فَاسْهَكُونِي ثُمَّ إِذَا كَانَ رِيحٌ عَاصِفٌ فَأَذْرُونِي فِيهَا فَأَخَذَ مَوَاثِيقَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَرَبِّي فَفَعَلُوا فَقَالَ اللَّهُ كُنْ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَىْ عَبْدِي مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ قَالَ مَخَافَتُكَ أَوْ فَرَقٌ مِنْكَ فَمَا تَلاَفَاهُ أَنْ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَحَدَّثْتُ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَلْمَانَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ زَادَ فَأَذْرُونِي فِي الْبَحْرِ أَوْ كَمَا حَدَّثَ وَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

The Prophet ﷺ mentioned a man from the people of the past or those who preceded you. The Prophet ﷺ said a sentence meaning: Allah had given him wealth and children. When his death approached, he said to his sons, "What kind of father have I been to you?" They replied, "You have been a good father." He told them that he had not presented any good deed before Allah, and if Allah should get hold of him He would punish him.' "So look!" he added, "When I die, burn me, and when I turn into coal, crush me, and when there comes a windy day, scatter my ashes in the wind." The Prophet ﷺ added, "Then by Allah, he took a firm promise from his children to do so, and they did so. (They burnt him after his death) and threw his ashes on a windy day. Then Allah commanded to his ashes. "Be," and behold! He became a man standing! Allah said, "O My slave! What made you do what you did?" He replied, "For fear of You." Nothing saved him then but Allah's Mercy (So Allah forgave him).  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ رَجُلاً فِيمَنْ سَلَفَ أَوْ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ قَالَ كَلِمَةً يَعْنِي أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالاً وَوَلَدًا فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ لِبَنِيهِ أَىَّ أَبٍ كُنْتُ لَكُمْ قَالُوا خَيْرَ أَبٍ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْتَئِرْ أَوْ لَمْ يَبْتَئِزْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرًا وَإِنْ يَقْدِرِ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ يُعَذِّبْهُ فَانْظُرُوا إِذَا مُتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي حَتَّى إِذَا صِرْتُ فَحْمًا فَاسْحَقُونِي أَوْ قَالَ فَاسْحَكُونِي فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ رِيحٍ عَاصِفٍ فَأَذْرُونِي فِيهَا فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ مَوَاثِيقَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَرَبِّي فَفَعَلُوا ثُمَّ أَذْرَوْهُ فِي يَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ كُنْ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَىْ عَبْدِي مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَنْ فَعَلْتَ مَا فَعَلْتَ قَالَ مَخَافَتُكَ أَوْ فَرَقٌ مِنْكَ قَالَ فَمَا تَلاَفَاهُ أَنْ رَحِمَهُ عِنْدَهَا وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَمَا تَلاَفَاهُ غَيْرُهَا فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ سَلْمَانَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ زَادَ فِيهِ أَذْرُونِي فِي الْبَحْرِ أَوْ كَمَا حَدَّثَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ وَقَالَ لَمْ يَبْتَئِرْ وَقَالَ خَلِيفَةُ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ وَقَالَ لَمْ يَبْتَئِزْ فَسَّرَهُ قَتَادَةُ لَمْ يَدَّخِرْ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "There was a man among the worshipers of Allah to whom Allah gave wealth and children, and he did not recognize Allah's religion. He said, 'Yazid did not stay long after Umar passed away, and Umar stayed long but eventually realized that not being present in front of Allah is better. He called his sons and said, 'O my sons, what do you think of me?' They replied, 'You are the best father, O our father.' He said, 'By Allah, I will not leave anything with any one of you that is mine. Either I will take it from you, or you will do as I command.' He took a pact from them and said, 'If I die, then take me and throw me in the fire until I turn into ashes. Then grind me and scatter me in the wind, for perhaps I will mislead Allah.' He fulfilled this request, and by the Lord of Muhammad, when he passed away, he was brought in the best state. He was presented before his Lord, and Allah said, 'What made you fear the fire, O my servant?' He replied, 'I feared You, O my Lord.' Allah said, 'Indeed, I have heard the renunciant monk, Yazid. Yazid, I hear you as a renunciant, so intercede on his behalf.' Bahz then narrated this hadith from Hasan and Qatadah, who narrated it from Yazid or Allah guided him, doubted Yahya's report."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَبْدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللهِ أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا وَكَانَ لَا يَدِينُ اللهَ دِينًا قَالَ يَزِيدُ فَلَبِثَ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ عُمُرٌ وَبَقِيَ عُمُرٌ تَذَكَّرَ فَعَلِمَ أَنْ لَمْ يَبْتَئِرْ عِنْدَ اللهِ خَيْرًا دَعَا بَنِيهِ فَقَالَ يَا بَنِيَّ أَيَّ أَبٍ تَعْلَمُونِي ؟ قَالُوا خَيْرَهُ يَا أَبَانَا قَالَ فَوَاللهِ لَا أَدَعُ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ مَالًا هُوَ مِنِّي إِلَّا أَنَا آخِذُهُ مِنْهُ أَوْ لَتَفْعَلُنَّ مَا آمُرُكُمْ بِهِ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُمْ مِيثَاقًا قَالَ إِمَّا لَا فَإِذَا مُتُّ فَخُذُونِي فَأَلْقُونِي فِي النَّارِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ حُمَمًا فَدُقُّونِي قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ اسْحَقُونِي ثُمَّ ذَرُّونِي فِي الرِّيحِ لَعَلِّي أَضِلُّ اللهَ قَالَ فَفُعِلَ بِهِ ذَلِكَ وَرَبِّ مُحَمَّدٍ حِينَ مَاتَ قَالَ فَجِيءَ بِهِ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَ فَعُرِضَ عَلَى رَبِّهِ فَقَالَ مَاحَمَلَكَ عَلَى النَّارِ؟ قَالَ خَشِيتُكَ يَا رَبَّاهُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَسْمَعَنَّ الرَّاهِبَةَ قَالَ يَزِيدُ أَسْمَعُكَ رَاهِبًا فَتِيبَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ بَهْزٌ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ الْحَسَنَ وَقَتَادَةَ وَحَدَّثَانِيهِ فَتِيبَ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ فَتَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ شَكَّ يَحْيَى
