Musnad Abi Ya'la 5105 — There was a very wealthy man. When his death
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْجَوَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ قَرْمٍ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَجُلٌ كَثِيرَ الْمَالِ ، لَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ ، قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ : إِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ مَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ ، أَوْرَثْتُكُمْ مَالًا كَثِيرًا ، قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : إِذَا مُتُّ فَاحْرِقُونِي ، ثُمَّ اطْحَنُونِي ، فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ رِيحٍ ، فَارْتَقُوا فَوْقَ قُلَّةِ جَبَلٍ فَاذْرُونِي ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ إِنْ قَدَرَ عَلَيَّ لَمْ يَغْفِرْ لِي ، فَفُعِلَ ذَلِكَ بِهِ ، فَاجْتَمَعَ فِي يَدَيِ اللهِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ ؟ قَالَ : يَا رَبِّ مَخَافَتُكَ ، قَالَ : فَاذْهَبْ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): "There was a very wealthy man. When his death approached, he said to his family: If you do what I command you, I will leave you a great deal of wealth as inheritance. They said: Yes. He said: When I die, burn me, then grind (my bones), and when a strong wind blows, climb to the top of a mountain and scatter me (my ashes), for if Allah gets hold of me, He will not forgive me. So that was done with him. Then he was gathered together in the hands of Allah, and Allah Almighty asked: What made you do what you did? He said: 'O my Lord, fear of You.' Allah Almighty said: Go, for I have certainly forgiven you."
