It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man from among those who came before you had greatly wronged himself (by excess in sins). When death came to him, he said to his family: When I die, burn me, then grind me, then scatter me in the wind over the sea. They did that, and Allah, exalted be His mention, said to the wind: Gather whatever is in you. And suddenly the man was standing. Allah said: What made you do what you did? He said: Fear of You, O my Lord. Allah said: Then indeed I have forgiven you."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-Zuhri, from al-A'raj, except Ibrahim bin Sa'd. Whereas the students of al-Zuhri narrated it from al-Zuhri, from Humayd bin Abd al-Rahman bin Awf, from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)."
