Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There was a man among the people of earlier times to whom Allah Almighty had granted abundance in wealth and children. When his time of death approached, he gathered his children and asked: 'What kind of father have I been to you?' They replied: 'You were the best father.' He said: 'By Allah! I have not stored any good deeds for the court of Allah Almighty, so now my Lord will punish me. So when I die, burn me, then crush me, and scatter me in a fast-blowing wind.' Allah Almighty said: 'Stand up.' So the man stood up. Allah Almighty asked: 'Why did you do this?' He replied: 'Out of fear of You.'”The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, Allah Almighty forgave him."
