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] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he mentioned a man from those who came before or said from those who were before you. Then he mentioned a word, and its meaning is that Allah gave him wealth and children. When death approached him, he said to his sons, "What kind of a father have I been to you?" They said, "The best of fathers." He said, "Indeed, he has never transgressed any good deed before Allah." Qatadah explained it as follows: He did not save any good deed with Allah, and if Allah had power over him, He would have punished him. So, when I die, burn me until I become charcoal, then crush me or he may have said, grind me. When there is a strong wind, scatter me in it. The Prophet of Allah took their covenant upon that. He said, "So they did that and, by my Lord, when he died, they burned and crushed him, then scattered him on a stormy day." Allah said to him, "Be," and he became a standing man. Allah said, "My servant, what made you do what you did?" He replied, "O Lord, out of fear of You or out of a dispensation from You." He said, "What made you dispute him?" He replied, "Out of mercy for him." He said, "I am pleased with him." He said, "I then narrated it to Abu Uthman, who said, 'I heard this from Salman more than once, except that he added: then cast me into the sea or as he narrated it'."
