It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man will enter Paradise who never performed any good deed. He is the one who, during his terminal illness, instructed his family that when I die, burn me in fire, crush my ashes, and scatter half of them in the sea and half on land. Allah commanded the land and the sea, and they gathered all his particles together. Allah asked him: Why did you do this? He replied: Out of fear of You. Because of this, Allah forgave him.
