Narrated Rabi` bin Hirash:`Uqba said to Hudhaifa, "Won't you narrate to us what you heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" Hudhaifa said, "I heard him saying, 'Death approached a man and when he had no hope of surviving, he said to his family, 'When I die, gather for me much wood and build a fire (to burn me),.

Jab aag mera gosht khaa le aur meri haddiyon tak pahunch jaaye, haddiyon ko lekar piso aur raakh ko samundar mein ek garam (ya tez hawa wale) din bikher dena.\" (Aisa hi kiya gaya.) Magar Allah ne unke ansh jama kiye aur unse pucha, \"Tumne aisa kyun kiya?\" Unhone jawab diya, \"Tere dar se.\" Isliye Allah ne unhe maaf kar diya.'" Abdul Malik ne isi tarah bataya, kehte huye, "Tez hawa wale din."
