Musnad Ahmad 8040 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، وَابْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ إِلَّا التَّوْحِيدَ ، فَلَمَّا احْتُضِرَ قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ : انْظُرُوا إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ أَنْ يُحْرِقُوهُ حَتَّى يَدَعُوهُ حُمَمًا ، ثُمَّ اطْحَنُوهُ ، ثُمَّ اذْرُوهُ فِي يَوْمِ رِيحٍ ، فَلَمَّا مَاتَ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ بِهِ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي قَبْضَةِ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : " يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ ، مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ ؟ " قَالَ : أَيْ رَبِّ مِنْ مَخَافَتِكَ ، قَالَ : فَغُفِرَ لَهُ بِهَا ، وَلَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ إِلَّا التَّوْحِيدَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In earlier times there was a man who had never done any good deed except for believing in the Oneness of Allah. When his death approached, he called his sons and made this will: When I die, burn me in fire until I become coal, then crush me finely and scatter me in the sea winds. After his death, his sons did as he had instructed. At that moment, that man was in the possession of Allah. Allah asked him: O son of Adam, what made you do this act? He replied: My Lord, it was Your fear. Allah forgave him for this, even though he had never done any good deed except for believing in the Oneness of Allah.
