`Uqba said to Hudhaifa, "Won't you narrate to us what you heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" Hudhaifa
said, "I heard him saying, 'Death approached a man and when he had no hope of surviving, he said to
his family, 'When I die, gather for me much wood and build a fire (to burn me),. When the fire has
eaten my flesh and reached my bones, take the bones and grind them and scatter the resulting powder
in the sea on a hot (or windy) day.' (That was done.) But Allah collected his particles and asked (him),
'Why did you do so?' He replied, 'For fear of You.' So Allah forgave him."

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A man used to do sinful deeds, and when death came to him, he said to his sons,
'After my death, burn me and then crush me, and scatter the powder in the air, for by Allah, if Allah
has control over me, He will give me such a punishment as He has never given to anyone else.' When
he died, his sons did accordingly. Allah ordered the earth saying, 'Collect what you hold of his
particles.' It did so, and behold! There he was (the man) standing. Allah asked (him), 'What made you
do what you did?' He replied, 'O my Lord! I was afraid of You.' So Allah forgave him. " Another
narrator said "The man said, Fear of You, O Lord!"
