English

[6981] 25 – ( … ) It was narrated from Az-ZuhrI, who said: Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahmân informed me from Abü Hurairah that the Prophet said: "A man transgressed against his soul. When he was dying he told his sons: 'When I die, burn me then JU crush (my bones), then scatter them in the wind and in the sea, for by Allah, if Allah gets me, He will punish me as He has never punished anyone.' They did that as they were told. Then Allah said to the land: 'Return what you have taken,' and he was standing there. Then He said to him: 'What made you do what you did?' He said: 'Fear of You, 0 Lord.' And Allah forgave him because of that."
