Hadith text

Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "A man who never did any good deed, said that if he died, his family should burn him and throw half the ashes of his burnt body in the earth and the other half in the sea, for by Allah, if Allah should get hold of him, He would inflict such punishment on him as He would not inflict on anybody among the people. But Allah ordered the sea to collect what was in it (of his ashes) and similarly ordered the earth to collect what was in it (of his ashes). Then Allah said (to the recreated man ), 'Why did you do so?' The man replied, 'For being afraid of You, and You know it (very well).' So Allah forgave him

Abu Huraira bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Ek aadmi jisne kabhi koi nek amal nahi kiya, usne kaha ke agar wo mar jaaye, to uska khaandaan use jala de aur uske jale hue jism ki aadhi raakh zameen mein aur aadhi samundar mein daale, kyunke Allah ki qasam, agar Allah use pakad le, to wo use aisi saza dega jo wo doosron ko nahi dega. Magar Allah ne samundar ko hukm diya ke wo apne andar ki (raakh) jama kare, aur isi tarah zameen ko bhi hukm diya ke wo apne andar ki (raakh) jama kare. Phir Allah ne (dobara banaaye gaye aadmi se) kaha, "Tumne aisa kyun kiya?" Us aadmi ne jawab diya, "Tere khauf se, aur tu ye (bahut achhe se) jaanta hai." To Allah ne use maaf kar diya.'
