The Prophet ﷺ said, "There was a man before your time whom Allah had blessed with abundant wealth. When death approached him, he said to his sons, 'What kind of father have I been to you?'They replied, 'The best of fathers.'He said, 'I have never done a single good deed, so when I die, burn me, then grind me to dust, then scatter me on a windy day.'They did so, but Allah gathered him together and asked him, 'What drove you to do this?'He replied, 'Fear of You.'So Allah received him with His mercy."
عن النبي ﷺ: أن رجلا كان قبلكم رغسه الله مالا، فقال لبنيه لما حضر: أي أب كنت لكم؟ قالوا: خير أب. قال: فإني لم أعمل خيرا قط، فإذا مت أحرقوني، ثم اسحقوني، ثم ذروني في يوم عاصف، ففعلوا، فجمعه الله عز وجل فقال: ما حملك؟ قال: مخافتك، فتلقاه برحمته.
Bukhari related it in the Hadiths of the Prophets (3478), and Muslim in Repentance (2757), both from the hadith of Abu Walid, who said, Abu Awana told us, from Qatada, from Uqba bin Abdul-Ghafir, from Abu Saeed, and he related the hadith. The wording given is Bukhari's, and Muslim's wording is similar to it.His saying, "raghasahu," means he gave it to him and blessed him with it, from raghs, which is blessing, growth, and goodness.His saying, "ishqauni," is from sahq, which is the most intense grinding.
