SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 9 > BOOK 93: ONENESS, UNIQUENESS OF ALLAH (TAWHEED)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 597:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "A man who never did any good deed, said that if he died, his family should
burn him and throw half the ashes of his burnt body in the earth and the other half in the sea, for by
Allah, if Allah should get hold of him, He would inflict such punishment on him as He would not in-
flict on anybody among the people. But Allah ordered the sea to collect what was in it (of his ashes)
and similarly ordered the earth to collect what was in it (of his ashes). Then Allah said (to the recre-
ated man ), 'Why did you do so?' The man replied, 'For being afraid of You, and You know it (very
well).' So Allah forgave him."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 598:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard the Prophet saying, "If somebody commits a sin and then says, 'O my Lord! I have sinned,
please forgive me!' and his Lord says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and
punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sins).' Then he remains without committing
any sin for a while and then again commits another sin and says, 'O my Lord, I have committed an-
other sin, please forgive me,' and Allah says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives
sins and punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sin). Then he remains without Com-
mitting any another sin for a while and then commits another sin (for the third time) and says, 'O my
Lord, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,' and Allah says, 'My slave has known that he
has a Lord Who forgives sins and punishes for it I therefore have forgiven My slave (his sin), he can
do whatever he likes."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 599:
Narrated Abu Said:
The Prophet mentioned a man from the people of the past or those who preceded you. The Prophet
said a sentence meaning: Allah had given him wealth and children. When his death approached, he
said to his sons, "What kind of father have I been to you?" They replied, "You have been a good fath-
er." He told them that he had not presented any good deed before Allah, and if Allah should get hold
of him He would punish him.' "So look!" he added, "When I die, burn me, and when I turn into coal,
crush me, and when there comes a windy day, scatter my ashes in the wind." The Prophet added,
"Then by Allah, he took a firm promise from his children to do so, and they did so. (They burnt him
after his death) and threw his ashes on a windy day. Then Allah commanded to his ashes. "Be," and
behold! He became a man standing! Allah said, "O My slave! What made you do what you did?" He
replied, "For fear of You." Nothing saved him then but Allah's Mercy (So Allah forgave him).
