The Prophet ﷺ said that a man among those who came before you was granted wealth and children by Allah. He said to his children, "You must do what I command you, or I will leave my inheritance to others. When I die, burn me," and most of what I recall is that he said, "then grind me to dust and scatter me in the wind, for I have stored up no good with Allah, and Allah is able to punish me."He took a solemn pledge from them, and they did exactly that to him, by my Lord.Then Allah said, "What drove you to do what you did?"He replied, "Fear of You."Nothing else saved him but that.
حدثني عبيد الله بن معاذ العنبري حدثنا أبي حدثنا شعبة عن قتادة سمع عقبة بن عبد الغافر يقول سمعت
عن النبي ﷺ أن رجلا فيمن كان قبلكم راشه الله مالا وولدا فقال لولده لتفعلن ما آمركم به أو لأولين ميراثي غيركم إذا أنا مت فأحرقوني وأكثر علمي أنه قال ثم اسحقوني واذروني في الريح فإني لم أبتهر عند الله خيرا وإن الله يقدر علي أن يعذبني قال فأخذ منهم ميثاقا ففعلوا ذلك به وربي فقال الله ما حملك على ما فعلت فقال مخافتك قال فما تلافاه غيرها
