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  

"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".
