Narrated Abu Said: The Prophet ﷺ mentioned a man from the previous generation or from the people preceding your age whom Allah had given both wealth and children. The Prophet ﷺ said; When the time of his death approached; he asked his children; What type of father have I been to you? They replied: You have been a good father. He said; But he i.e. your father has not stored any good deeds with Allah for the Hereafter : if he should face Allah; Allah will punish him. So listen; O my children ; when I die; burn my body till I become mere coal and then grind it into powder; and when there is a stormy wind; throw me my ashes in it. So he took a firm promise from his children to follow his instructions. And by Allah they his sons did accordingly fulfilled their promise. Then Allah said; Be and behold! That man was standing there! Allah then said. O my slave! What made you do what you did? That man said; Fear of You. So Allah forgave him.
