[6981] 25 - (...) It was narrated from Az-Zuhri, who said: Humaid bin ‘Abdur-Rahmân informed me from Abû Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: “A man transgressed against his soul. When he was dying he told his sons: ‘When I die, burn me then crush (my bones), then scatter them in the wind and in the sea, for by Allâh, if Allâh gets me, He will punish me as He has never punished anyone.' They did that as they were told. Then Allâh 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, O Lord.' And Allâh forgave him because of that."

25 - (2756) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ - قَالَ عَبْدٌ: أَخْبَرَنَا، وقَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ حَدَّثَنَا - عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي الزُّهْرِيُّ: أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثَيْنِ عَجِيبَيْنِ؟ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " أَسْرَفَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ أَوْصَى بَنِيهِ فَقَالَ: إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي، ثُمَّ اسْحَقُونِي، ثُمَّ اذْرُونِي فِي الرِّيحِ فِي الْبَحْرِ، فَوَاللهِ لَئِنْ قَدَرَ عَلَيَّ رَبِّي لَيُعَذِّبُنِي عَذَابًا مَا عَذَّبَهُ بِهِ أَحَدًا، قَالَ فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ بِهِ، فَقَالَ لِلْأَرْضِ: أَدِّي مَا أَخَذْتِ، فَإِذَا هُوَ قَائِمٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ فَقَالَ: خَشْيَتُكَ، يَا رَبِّ - أَوْ قَالَ مَخَافَتُكَ - فَغَفَرَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ "
