باب فِيمَنْ قَالَ: إِذَا مُتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي بِالنَّارِ:
Chapter on those who said: "When I die, burn me with fire"
Hadith Number: 2848
اخبرنا النضر بن شميل، قال: اخبرنا بهز بن حكيم، عن ابيه، عن جده، قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم , يقول:"كان عبد من عباد الله، وكان لا يدين لله دينا، وإنه لبث حتى ذهب منه عمر وبقي عمر، فعلم انه لم يبتئر عند الله خيرا، فدعا بنيه , فقال: اي اب تعلموني؟ قالوا: خيره يا ابانا، قال: فإني لا ادع عند احد منكم مالا هو مني إلا اخذته منكم، او لتفعلن ما آمركم، قال: فاخذ منهم ميثاقا وربي، قال: اما انا إذا مت فخذوني فاحرقوني بالنار حتى إذا كنت حمما فدقوني ثم اذروني في الريح، قال: ففعلوا ذلك به ورب محمد حين مات، فجيء به احسن ما كان قط، فعرض على ربه، فقال: ما حملك على النار؟ قال: خشيتك يا رب، قال: إني اسمعك لراهبا، قال: فتيب عليه". قال ابو محمد: يبتئر، يدخر.
Bahz bin Hakim narrated from his father, who narrated from his grandfather, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say:“There was a servant among the servants of Allah who had no religion or faith. He remained in this state of irreligion until most of his life had passed and only a little was left. Then he realized that he had not done any good deed for Allah, so he called his sons and said: ‘How do you find me as a father?’ They said: ‘Very good, O our father!’ He said: ‘I will not leave my wealth with any of you; I will take it all from you, unless I command you to do something and you act upon it?’ Then he took a firm promise from them. By my Lord, he said: ‘When I die, take me and burn me in the fire, and when I am burnt and become coal, crush me and scatter my ashes in the air.’ (In some narrations it is mentioned: ‘When a strong wind blows, scatter half of the ashes in the sea and half in the air.’) He said: ‘By my Lord! After his death, his sons did exactly as he had instructed.’ He was brought back to his original state and presented before the Lord of the worlds. Allah, the Exalted, said: ‘What made you choose the fire?’ He replied: ‘Your fear, O my Lord.’ Allah, the Exalted, said: ‘I see you as one who fears Me.’”The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:“His repentance was accepted.”(That is, he was forgiven).
Imam Darimi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: The meaning of «يَبْتَئِرُ» is «يَدَّخِرُ» , that is, something stored for the Hereafter.
