English Translation

It was narrated from Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari and Hudhayfa ibn al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with them) that they said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There was a man from those who came before you who used to commit sins. When death came to him, he said to his family: When I die, burn me, then grind me, then scatter me in the sea on a windy day. When he died they did so. Allah Almighty gathered him and asked him: What made you do that? He said: Fear of You.'
