حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ هُوَ ابْنُ سَلَّامٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْغَافِرِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : " جَاءَ بِلَالٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِتَمْرٍ بَرْنِيٍّ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مِنْ أَيْنَ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ بِلَالٌ : كَانَ عِنْدَنَا تَمْرٌ رَدِيٌّ فَبِعْتُ مِنْهُ صَاعَيْنِ بِصَاعٍ لِنُطْعِمَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ : أَوَّهْ أَوَّهْ ، عَيْنُ الرِّبَا ، عَيْنُ الرِّبَا لَا تَفْعَلْ ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ فَبِعِ التَّمْرَ بِبَيْعٍ آخَرَ ، ثُمَّ اشْتَرِهِ " .
Narrated Abu Sa`id al-Khudri: Once Bilal brought Barni (i.e. a kind of dates) to the Prophet and the Prophet asked him, "From where have you brought these?" Bilal replied, "I had some inferior type of dates and exchanged two Sas of it for one Sa of Barni dates in order to give it to the Prophet; to eat." Thereupon the Prophet said, "Beware! Beware! This is definitely Riba (usury)! This is definitely Riba (Usury)! Don't do so, but if you want to buy (a superior kind of dates) sell the inferior dates for money and then buy the superior kind of dates with that money."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْغَافِرِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ رَغَسَهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا ، فَقَالَ : لِبَنِيهِ لَمَّا حُضِرَ أَيَّ أَبٍ كُنْتُ لَكُمْ ، قَالُوا : خَيْرَ أَبٍ ، قَالَ : فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ فَإِذَا مُتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي ثُمَّ اسْحَقُونِي ثُمَّ ذَرُّونِي فِي يَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍ فَفَعَلُوا فَجَمَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَقَالَ : مَا حَمَلَكَ ، قَالَ : مَخَافَتُكَ ، فَتَلَقَّاهُ بِرَحْمَتِهِ ، وَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْغَافِرِ ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Narrated Abu Sa`id: The Prophet said, "Amongst the people preceding your age, there was a man whom Allah had given a lot of money. While he was in his death-bed, he called his sons and said, 'What type of father have I been to you? They replied, 'You have been a good father.' He said, 'I have never done a single good deed; so when I die, burn me, crush my body, and scatter the resulting ashes on a windy day.' His sons did accordingly, but Allah gathered his particles and asked (him), 'What made you do so?' He replied, "Fear of you.' So Allah bestowed His Mercy upon him. (forgave him).

Narrated Abu Sa`id: The Prophet mentioned a man from the previous generation or from the people preceding your age whom Allah had given both wealth and children. The Prophet said, "When the time of his death approached, he asked his children, 'What type of father have I been to you?' They replied: You have been a good father. He said, 'But he (i.e. your father) has not stored any good deeds with Allah (for the Hereafter): if he should face Allah, Allah will punish him. So listen, (O my children), when I die, burn my body till I become mere coal and then grind it into powder, and when there is a stormy wind, throw me (my ashes) in it.' So he took a firm promise from his children (to follow his instructions). And by Allah they (his sons) did accordingly(fulfilled their promise.) Then Allah said, "Be"' and behold! That man was standing there! Allah then said. "O my slave! What made you do what you did?" That man said, "Fear of You." So Allah forgave him.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْغَافِرِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، " أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ رَجُلًا فِيمَنْ سَلَفَ أَوْ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ ، قَالَ : كَلِمَةً يَعْنِي أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الْوَفَاةُ ، قَالَ لِبَنِيهِ : أَيَّ أَبٍ كُنْتُ لَكُمْ ؟ ، قَالُوا : خَيْرَ أَبٍ ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْتَئِرْ أَوْ لَمْ يَبْتَئِزْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرًا وَإِنْ يَقْدِرِ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ يُعَذِّبْهُ ، فَانْظُرُوا إِذَا مُتُّ ، فَأَحْرِقُونِي حَتَّى إِذَا صِرْتُ فَحْمًا ، فَاسْحَقُونِي ، أَوْ قَالَ فَاسْتَحِلُونِي فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ رِيحٍ عَاصِفٍ فَأَذْرُونِي فِيهَا ، فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فَأَخَذَ مَوَاثِيقَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَرَبِّي ، فَفَعَلُوا ثُمَّ أَذْرَوْهُ فِي يَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍ ، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : كُنْ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ ، قَالَ اللَّهُ : أَيْ عَبْدِي مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَنْ فَعَلْتَ مَا فَعَلْتَ ، قَالَ : مَخَافَتُكَ أَوْ فَرَقٌ مِنْكَ ، قَالَ : فَمَا تَلَافَاهُ أَنْ رَحِمَهُ عِنْدَهَا ، وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى : فَمَا تَلَافَاهُ غَيْرُهَا " ، فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ سَلْمَانَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ زَادَ فِيهِ أَذْرُونِي فِي الْبَحْرِ أَوْ كَمَا حَدَّثَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ ، وَقَالَ : لَمْ يَبْتَئِرْ ، وَقَالَ خَلِيفَةُ : حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ وَقَالَ لَمْ يَبْتَئِزْ ، فَسَّرَهُ قَتَادَةُ لَمْ يَدَّخِرْ .
Narrated Abu Sa`id: The Prophet mentioned a man from the people of the past or those who preceded you. The Prophet said a sentence meaning: Allah had given him wealth and children. When his death approached, he said to his sons, "What kind of father have I been to you?" They replied, "You have been a good father." He told them that he had not presented any good deed before Allah, and if Allah should get hold of him He would punish him.' "So look!" he added, "When I die, burn me, and when I turn into coal, crush me, and when there comes a windy day, scatter my ashes in the wind." The Prophet added, "Then by Allah, he took a firm promise from his children to do so, and they did so. (They burnt him after his death) and threw his ashes on a windy day. Then Allah commanded to his ashes. "Be," and behold! He became a man standing! Allah said, "O My slave! What made you do what you did?" He replied, "For fear of You." Nothing saved him then but Allah's Mercy (So Allah forgave him).
