Hadith #491
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ الْقَاصُّ حَدَّثَنَا
الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَا رَجُلٌ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ خَرَجَ فِي بُرْدَيْنِ أَخْضَرَيْنِ يَخْتَالُ فِيهِمَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ الْأَرْضَ فَأَخَذَتْهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَتَجَلْجَلُ فِيهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
English Translation
Al-Nadr ibn Isma'il Abu al-Mughirah al-Qass narrated to us, al-A'mash narrated to us, from 'Atiyyah, from Abu Sa'id (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'While a man from among those who came before you was on his deathbed, he said to his children: What kind of father have I been to you? They said: The best of fathers. He said: Indeed I have never done any good deed. When I die, burn me, then grind me, then scatter me on a windy day. So they did that. Then Allah (عز وجل) gathered him and said to him: What made you do what you did? He said: Fear of You, O Lord. So Allah forgave him.'
