It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man among those before you instructed that when he died his body should be burned, then ground, then lifted up, and when a violent wind blew, it should be scattered in it. So Allah gathered him to Himself and said: "Woe to you! What made you do this?" He said: "O my Lord, no servant of Yours was bolder against You than me, nor more disobedient to You than me, but I hoped that in this way I would escape." So he was forgiven. Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard this hadith in the same way from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
