The Prophet ﷺ said, "There was a man among those who came before you who used to think poorly of his own deeds. He said to his family, 'When I die, take my body and scatter my ashes into the sea on a hot day.' They did as he asked, but Allah gathered him together and asked, 'What made you do what you did?' The man replied, 'Nothing drove me to it except fear of You.' So Allah forgave him."
عن النبي ﷺ قال: كان رجل ممن كان قبلكم يسيء الظن بعمله، فقال لأهله: إذا أنا مت فخذوني، فذروني في البحر في يوم صائف، ففعلوا به، فجمعه الله، ثم قال: ما حملك على الذي صنعت؟ قال: ما حملني إلا مخافتك فغفر له.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Riqaq (6480) from Uthman bin Abu Shayba, who said, Jareer narrated to us, from Mansur, from Rubai, from Huzaifa, and he mentioned it.His saying, "He who made for you fire from the green tree, and behold, you kindle from it" [Yasin 36:80], means, He who brought forth for you, from the moist green tree, a burning fire. It is reported from Ibn Abbas that he said, They are two trees, one called Markh and the other Afar. Whoever among them wanted fire would cut two twigs from it, like tooth-sticks, both green and dripping with water, then he would rub the Markh against the Afar, and fire would come out from them by Allah's permission .It is mentioned that this kind of tree used to grow in the land of Hijaz, and whoever among them wanted to strike a fire but had no flint would take two green sticks from it and strike one against the other, and fire would be produced between them just as with a flint. But this is not limited to the land of Hijaz, for most fires that occur in forests are generally caused by the friction of trees against one another.His saying, "So glory be to Him in whose hand is the dominion of all things" [Yasin 36:83], is like His saying, "Say, In whose hand is the dominion of all things" [Muminun 23:88], and His saying, "Blessed is He in whose hand is the dominion" [Mulk 67:1]. Malakut and mulk carry one meaning, like rahma and rahamut, or jabr and jabarut, and similar pairs.The Prophet ﷺ used to say in his bowing and prostration, "Glory be to the Possessor of might and dominion," as reported in the hadith.
