Hadith text
Narrated Abu Sa`id:The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned a man from the people of the past or those who preceded you. The Prophet (ﷺ) said a sentence meaning: Allah had given him wealth and children. When his death approached, he said to his sons, "What kind of father have I been to you?" They replied, "You have been a good father." He told them that he had not presented any good deed before Allah, and if Allah should get hold of him He would punish him.' "So look!" he added, "When I die, burn me, and when I turn into coal, crush me, and when there comes a windy day, scatter my ashes in the wind." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "Then by Allah, he took a firm promise from his children to do so, and they did so. (They burnt him after his death) and threw his ashes on a windy day. Then Allah commanded to his ashes. "Be," and behold! He became a man standing! Allah said, "O My slave! What made you do what you did?" He replied, "For fear of You." Nothing saved him then but Allah's Mercy (So Allah forgave him)
Abu Saeed bataate hain: Nabi (SAW) ne aglon logon mein se ya tumse pehle guzre logon mein se ek shaks ka zikr kiya. Nabi (SAW) ne ek jumla kaha jiska matlab tha: Allah ne use daulat aur bacche diye the. Jab uski maut qareeb aayi, usne apne beton se kaha, 'Main tumhaare liye kaisa baap tha?' Unhone jawab diya, 'Aap ek achhe baap the.' Usne unhein bataaya ke usne Allah ke saamne koi nek amal pesh nahi kiya, aur agar Allah use pakad le to wo use saza dega.' 'Isliye dekho!' usne izaafa kiya, 'Jab main mar jaaun, mujhe jala dena, aur jab main koyla ban jaaun, mujhe kuchal dena, aur jab hawa waala din aaye, meri raakh hawa mein bikher dena.' Nabi (SAW) ne izaafa kiya, 'Phir, Allah ki qasam, usne apne bachchon se aisa karne ka pakka waada le liya, aur unhone waisa hi kiya. (Unki maut ke baad unhein jalaaya) aur unki raakh ek hawa waale din bikher di. Phir Allah ne uski raakh ko hukm diya, "Ban jao," aur dekho! Wo ek khada shaks ban gaya! Allah ne kaha, "Aye mere bande! Tumne aisa kyun kiya?" Usne jawab diya, "Tere khauf se." Kuch bhi usse nahi bachaa siwaaye Allah ki Rehmat ke (isliye Allah ne use maaf kar diya).'
