Sahih Muslim Hadith 6980 – The Vastness Of

English

[6980] 24 – (2756) It was narrated from Abü Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "A man who had never done any good deed told to his family that when he dies, to burn him then scatter half (of the ashes) on the land and half in the sea, for by Allah, if Allah gets him, He will punish him in a way that He has never punished anyone else. When the man died, they did what he had told them. Then Allah commanded the land to gather together what was in it, and He commanded the sea to gather together what was in it, then He said (to that man): 'Why did you do that?' He said: 'Out of fear of You, 0 Lord, and You know best.' And Allah forgave him."
