مِنْ مُسْنَدِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1047 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Among those
حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ وَرْدَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْغَافِرِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: " كَانَ رَجُلٌ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ لَمْ يَبْتَئِرْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرًا قَطُّ ـ قَالَ: فَسَّرَهُ قَتَادَةُ: لَمْ يَدَّخِرْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرًا قَطُّ ـ قَالَ لِبَنِيهِ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ: أَيْ بَنِيَّ، أَيُّ أَبٍ كُنْتُ لَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: خَيْرَ أَبٍ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا مُتُّ فَاحْرَقُونِي، أَوْ قَالَ: فَاسْحَقُونِي، أَوْ قَالَ: انْتَهِكُونِي، فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ رِيحٍ عَاصِفٍ فَذَرُّونِي، قَالَ: فَمَاتَ فَفُعِلَ بِهِ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ: كُنْ فَكَانَ كَأَسْرَعِ مِنْ طَرْفَةِ الْعَيْنِ، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ: أَيْ عَبْدِ: مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ: مَخَافَتُكَ أَيْ رَبِّ، قَالَ: فَمَا تَلَافَاهُ أَنْ غَفَرَ لَهُ " ،
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Among those who came before you there was a man who had never stored up any good deed with Allah." Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) explained it as: he had never laid up any good with Allah. "At the time of death he said to his sons: O my sons, what kind of father have I been to you? They said: The best of fathers. He said: Then when I die, burn me (or he said: grind me, or he said: crush me to pieces), and then on a day of a violent wind scatter me (in the air). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When he died, that was done to him. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, commanded: 'Be!' and he was there (alive) faster than the blink of an eye. Allah Almighty asked: 'O My servant, what made you do what you did?' He said: O my Lord, fear of You. So for that very reason Allah Almighty forgave him."
