‘A man once went to excess against himself. When death approached he said to his family, “When I die, burn me, then pound me to dust, and scatter me in the wind. By Allah, if Allah is able to seize me He will punish me with a punishment the like of which He has not inflicted upon anyone else.”’
He continued, ‘So they did with him as he had requested. Then Allah said to everything that had taken a part of him, “Return what you have taken.” Thereupon he was standing before Allah, Who asked, “What moved you to do ⦗1141⦘ what you did?” He replied, “Fear of You.” So Allah forgave him. ⦗1142⦘’
The wording is that of the narration of Ibn Ṣāʿid.
