Muwatta Malik, 571

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A man said to his family that he had never done a good action, and that when he died they were to burn him and then scatter half of him on the land and half of him on the sea, and by Allah, if Allah destined it for him He would punish him with a punishment which He had not punished anyone else with in all the worlds. When the man died, they did as he had told them. Then Allah told the land to collect everything that was in it, and told the sea to collect everything that was in it, and then He said to the man, 'Why did you do this?' and he said, 'From fear of You, Lord, and You know best.' " Abu Hurayra added, "And He forgave him

Abou Houraira a rapporté que l'Envoyé d'Allah (salallahou alayhi wa salam) r (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) a dit: «un homme qui n'a jamais fait un acte de bien dit à ses parents, que, lorsqu'il meurt, qu'ils lui brûlent le corps, puis qu'ils répandent (ses cendres) moitié sur la terre, et l'autre dans la mer par Allah, Si le Seigneur a la puissance (de le reconstituer), Il le châtiera d'un châtiment qu'il n'aura jamais fait subir à personne auparavant. Quand l’homme mourut, les siens exécutèrent sa volonté. Allah alors, demanda à la terre de rendre ce qu'elle a pris, et à la mer de faire pareillement. (Une fois que l'homme ait été reconstitué) Allah lui dit: «Pourquoi tu as fait cela»? L'homme répondit: «Par crainte de toi, Ô Seigneur, et Toi tu le connais bien». Allah alors lui pardonna»
