[6984] 27 - (2757) Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī narrated from the Prophet ﷺ: "Allāh bestowed wealth and children upon a man among those who came before you. He said to his children: 'Do what I command you, or I will make others my heirs. When I die, burn me'" – and as far as I know, he said – "and crush (my bones), then scatter me in the wind, for I have never done any good that would please Allāh, and if Allāh gets me, He will punish me.' He took a pledge from them, and they did that for him. By my Lord, Allāh said: 'What made you do that?' He said: 'Fear of You.' And that is all that befell him."

٢٧ - (٢٧٥٧) حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ. حَدَّثَنَا أبي. حدثنا شعبة عن قتادة. سمع عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْغَافِرِ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سعيد الخدري يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؛ "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 إسحاقوني. واذروني في الريح. فإني لم أبتهر عند الله خيرا، وإن الله يقدر على أن يعذبني. قال فأخذ منهم ميثاقا. ففعلوا ذلك به. وربي! فقال الله: ما حملك على ما فعلت؟ فقال: مخافتك. قال فما تلافاه غيرها".
