Hadith of Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman (RA) from the Prophet (SAW)

حديث حذيفة بن اليمان (1) عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

Hadith 1034:14

Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, Abu Malik al-Ashja'i narrated to us, from Rib'i ibn Hirash, from Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari and from Hudhayfah, they both said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There was a man among those who were before you who used to commit sins. When death approached him, he said to his family: 'When I die, burn me, then grind me, then scatter me into the sea on a stormy, windy day.' He said: So when he died, they did that. He said: Then Allah gathered him in His hand and said to him: 'What compelled you to do what you did?' He said: 'Fear of You.' He said: 'Then I have forgiven you.'"

حدثنا أبو معاوية، حدثنا أبو مالك الأشجعي، عن ربعي بن حراش، عن أبي مسعود الأنصاري، وعن حذيفة، قالا: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " كان رجل ممن كان قبلكم يعمل بالمعاصي، فلما حضره الموت قال لأهله: إذا أنا مت فأحرقوني، ثم اطحنوني، ثم ذروني في البحر في يوم ريح عاصف، قال: فلما مات فعلوا، قال: فجمعه الله في يده، فقال له: ما حملك على ما صنعت؟ قال: خوفك قال: فإني قد غفرت لك "
