Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: There was a man who had a great deal of wealth. When the time of his death drew near, he said to his family: "If you do as I command you, I will give you a great deal of wealth." His family said: "Very well." He said: "When I die, burn me, then grind me, then when the wind is blowing, climb to the top of a mountain and scatter me, for if Allah Almighty constrains me, He will not forgive me." That was done with his body. Then he was gathered together and presented before Allah Almighty, and Allah Almighty said: "Why did you do this?" The man said: "O my Lord, out of fear of You." The Lord said: "Go, I have forgiven you."
