The Prophet ﷺ said, "A man used to do sinful deeds, and when death came to him, he said to his sons, 'After my death, burn me and then crush me, and scatter the powder in the air, for by Allah, if Allah has control over me, He will give me such a punishment as He has never given to anyone else.' When he died, his sons did accordingly. Allah ordered the earth saying, 'Collect what you hold of his particles.' It did so, and behold! There he was (the man) standing. Allah asked (him), 'What made you do what you did?' He replied, 'O my Lord! I was afraid of You.' So Allah forgave him. " Another narrator said "The man said, Fear of You, O Lord!"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُسْرِفُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ لِبَنِيهِ إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي ثُمَّ اطْحَنُونِي ثُمَّ ذَرُّونِي فِي الرِّيحِ فَوَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ قَدَرَ عَلَىَّ رَبِّي لَيُعَذِّبَنِّي عَذَابًا مَا عَذَّبَهُ أَحَدًا فَلَمَّا مَاتَ فُعِلَ بِهِ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَ اللَّهُ الأَرْضَ فَقَالَ اجْمَعِي مَا فِيكِ مِنْهُ فَفَعَلَتْ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَائِمٌ فَقَالَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ خَشْيَتُكَ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ مَخَافَتُكَ يَا رَبِّ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "There was a man amongst the people who had suspicion as to the righteousness of his deeds. Therefore he said to his family, 'If I die, take me and burn my corpse and throw my ashes into the sea on a hot (or windy) day.' They did so, but Allah, collected his particles and asked (him), What made you do what you did?' He replied, 'The only thing that made me do it, was that I was afraid of You.' So Allah forgave him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ يُسِيءُ الظَّنَّ بِعَمَلِهِ فَقَالَ لأَهْلِهِ إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَخُذُونِي فَذَرُّونِي فِي الْبَحْرِ فِي يَوْمٍ صَائِفٍ فَفَعَلُوا بِهِ فَجَمَعَهُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى الَّذِي صَنَعْتَ قَالَ مَا حَمَلَنِي إِلاَّ مَخَافَتُكَ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ  

[Machine] A man who never did any good except monotheism. So, when death approached him, he said to his family, "When I die, take me and burn me until you turn me into ashes. Then grind me, and scatter me into the sea on a windy day." He said, "They did that to him." He said, "Then he was in Allah's grip." Allah said to him, "What compelled you to do what you did?" He said, "Out of fear of you." Allah forgave him.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْئًا قَطُّ إِلَّا التَّوْحِيدَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَخُذُونِيوَاحْرُقُونِي حَتَّى تَدَعُونِي حُمَمَةً ثُمَّ اطْحَنُونِي ثُمَّ اذْرُونِي فِي الْبَحْرِ فِي يَوْمٍ رَاحٍ قَالَ فَفَعَلُوا بِهِ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي قَبْضَةِ اللهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ اللهُ ﷻ لَهُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ مَخَافَتُكَ قَالَ فَغَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ  

[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."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ يَعْمَلُ بِالْمَعَاصِي فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي ثُمَّ اطْحَنُونِي ثُمَّ ذَرُّونِي فِي الْبَحْرِ فِي يَوْمِ رِيحٍ عَاصِفٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ فَعَلُوا قَالَ فَجَمَعَهُ اللهُ فِي يَدِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ خَوْفُكَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: Verily, there was a man among those before you whom Allah blessed with wealth and children. He said to his family, "When I die, burn me until I become charcoal, then crush me and scatter me." For indeed, if my Lord is able to do so, He will punish me with a punishment that He has not inflicted upon anyone from the worlds." So they did that, and Allah commanded him to be gathered. So there he was, standing before Allah, and He said, "What caused you to do what you did?" He said, "Out of fear of You, O Lord." So Allah forgave him.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ رَغَسَهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا فَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي حَتَّى إِذَا صِرْتُ فَحْمًا فَاسْحَقُونِي ثُمَّ اذْرُونِي فَإِنَّ رَبِّي إِنْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَيَّ يُعَذِّبْنِي عَذَابًا لَا يُعَذِّبُهُ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَ اللهُ ﷻ بِهِ فَجُمِعَ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَائِمٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللهِ ﷻ فَقَالَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ خَشْيَتُكَ أَيْ رَبِّ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ  

"There was a man among those who came before you who thought badly of his deeds, so when death was approaching he said to his family: 'When I am dead, burn my body and grind up my bones, then scatter me in the sea, for if Allah gets hold of me, He will never forgive me.' But Allah commanded the angles to seize his soul. He said to him: 'What made you do what you did?' He said:: 'O Lord, I only did it because I feared You.' So Allah forgave him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2080)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ سَيِّءُ الظَّنَّ بِعَمَلِهِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ» قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي ثُمَّ اطْحَنُونِي ثُمَّ اذْرُونِي فِي الْبَحْرِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَيَّ لَمْ يَغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ فَأَمَرَ اللهُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَتَلَقَّتْ رُوحَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ مَا فَعَلْتُ إِلَّا مِنْ مَخَافَتِكَ فَغَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ
