Hadith 2756 Part B

setting

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying that a person committed sin beyond measure and when he was going to die, he left this will

(When I die) , bum my dead body and then cast them (the ashes) to the wind and in the ocean. By Allah , if my Lord takes hold of me , He would torment me as He has not tormented anyone else. They did as he had asked them to do. He (the Lord) said to the earth : Return what you have taken. And he was thus restored to his (original form). He (Allah) said to him : What prompted you to do this ? He said : My Lord , it was Thine fear or Thine awe , and Allah pardoned him because of this.
