أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْغَافِرِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«كَانَ فِيمَنْ سَلَفَ مِنَ النَّاسِ رَجُلٌ رَغَسَهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ جَمَعَ بَنِيهِ فقَالَ أَيَّ أَبٍ كُنْتُ لَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا خَيْرَ أَبٍ فقَالَ إِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا ابْتَأَرَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرًا قَطُّ وَإِنَّ رَبَّهُ يُعَذِّبُهُ فَإِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي ثُمَّ اسْحَقُونِي ثُمَّ اذْرُونِي فِي رِيحٍ عَاصِفٍ قَالَ اللَّهُ كُنْ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ قَالَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ مَخَافَتُكَ قَالَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنْ يَلْقَاهُ غَيْرَ أَنْ غُفِرَ لَهُ»

✧ “Among the people who came before you was a man whom Allah blessed with wealth and children. When death came to him, he gathered his sons and said: ‘What kind of father was I to you?’ They said: ‘The best of fathers.’ He said: ‘Indeed, by Allah, I have never stored up any good with Allah. His Lord will punish him. So when I die, burn me, then crush me, then scatter me in a violent wind.’ Allah said: ‘Be,’ and behold, he was a man standing. He said: ‘What made you do what you did?’ He said: ‘Fear of You.’ He said: ‘By the One in whose hand is my soul, if he meets nothing else, he will be forgiven.’”
