[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, there was a man among those before you whom Allah had given a lot of wealth and children. When he approached death, he asked his children, 'What type of father was I to you?' They replied, 'You were the best of fathers.' He asked, 'Were you obedient to me?' They replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'Look, when I die, burn my body until only ashes remain, and then scatter me in the sea on a windy day, lest Allah bring me back to life and punish me.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'So they did as he instructed, but Allah collected his ashes and said, 'O son of Adam, what caused you to do what you did?' He replied, 'My fear of You, O Lord.' So Allah forgave him because of this."
