Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah

Narrated Abu Sa'id (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Amongst the people
preceding your age, there was a man whom Allah had given a lot of money.
While he was in his death-bed, he called his sons and said, 'What type of
father have I been to you?' They replied, 'You have been a good father.' He
said, 'I have never done a single good deed; so when I die, burn me, crush
my body, and scatter the resulting ashes on a windy day.' His sons did
accordingly, but Allah gathered his particles and asked (him), 'What made
you do so?' He replied, 'Fear of you.' So Allah bestowed His Mercy upon him
(forgave him)."
