حَدَّثَنَا مُهَنَّا بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ أَبُو شِبْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي قَزَعَةَ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ رَغَسَهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ عَصْرٌ، وَجَاءَ عَصْرٌ. فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ: أَيْ بَنِيَّ، أَيَّ أَبٍ كُنْتُ لَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: خَيْرَ أَبٍ. قَالَ: فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُطِيعِيَّ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: انْظُرُوا إِذَا مُتُّ أَنْ تُحَرِّقُونِي حَتَّى تَدَعُونِي فَحْمًا ". قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ اهْرُسُونِي بِالْمِهْرَاسِ " يُومِئُ بِيَدِهِ. قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَفَعَلُوا وَاللهِ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ اذْرُونِي فِي الْبَحْرِ فِي يَوْمِ رِيحٍ لَعَلِّي أَضِلُّ اللهَ ". قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: فَفَعَلُوا وَاللهِ ذَلِكَ. فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي قَبْضَةِ اللهِ فَقَالَ: " يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ " قَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ، مَخَافَتُكَ. قَالَ: فَتَلَافَاهُ اللهُ بِهَا " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: In earlier times there was a man whom Allah Almighty had blessed with abundant wealth and children. Time passed until one era ended and another began. When his death approached, he said to his children, "O my children! What kind of father have I been to you?" They replied, "The best father." He said, "Will you obey one request of mine now?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Listen, when I die, burn me in fire and keep me in the fire until I become charcoal. Then crush that charcoal in a mortar (he showed with a hand gesture), and on a windy day, scatter my ashes into the sea. Perhaps in this way I will not meet Allah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: By Allah! They did exactly as he had asked, but at that very moment he was in Allah's grasp. Allah asked him, "O son of Adam! What made you do this?" He replied, "My Lord! Your fear." Allah Almighty, due to the blessing of that fear, forgave him.
