حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ
كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ إِلَّا التَّوْحِيدَ، فَلَمَّا احْتُضِرَ قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ: انْظُرُوا إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ أَنْ يُحْرِقُوهُ حَتَّى يَدَعُوهُ حُمَمًا، ثُمَّ اطْحَنُوهُ ثُمَّ اذْرُوهُ فِي يَوْمٍ رَاحٍ. فَلَمَّا مَاتَ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ بِهِ، فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي قَبْضَةِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ ؟ قَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ، مِنْ مَخَافَتِكَ، قَالَ: فَغُفِرَ لَهُ بِهَا، وَلَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ إِلَّا التَّوْحِيدَ

✧ There was a man among those before you who had never done any good except affirming the oneness of God. When he was dying, he said to his family: 'See to it that when I die, you burn me until I become charcoal, then grind me up, then scatter me on a windy day.' When he died, they did that to him. Then he was in God's grasp. God, Mighty and Majestic, said: 'O son of Adam, what made you do what you did?' He said: 'My Lord, out of fear of You.' He said: So he was forgiven for that, and he had never done any good except affirming the oneness of God.
