Sahih al-Bukhari 3335 (Book 60, Hadith 148)
‘After my death, burn me and then crush me, and scatter the powder in the air, for by Allah, if Allah
has control over me, He will give me such a punishment as He has never given to anyone else.’ When
he died, his sons did accordingly. Allah ordered the earth saying, ‘Collect what you hold of his
particles.’ It did so, and behold! There he was (the man) standing. Allah asked (him), ‘What made you
do what you did?’ He replied, ‘O my Lord! I was afraid of You.’ So Allah forgave him. ” Another
narrator said “The man said, Fear of You, O Lord!”
