Fear of Allah

Narrated by Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri
He quoted the Prophet (pbuh) saying to his companions,
"There was a man from among the early who Allah blessed him with wealth and sons.

When death approached him, he asked his sons, "how was I being as a father?"
They replied, you were the best father"
He said, "I didn't save or perform any good deeds for Allah, if Allah takes possession of me, he will punish me. So  look  when I am dead burn me until I become coal then crush me well and scatter (my ashes in the air) on a stormy day"

The Prophet (pbuh) said, "he took covenant from his sons (and died). They did according to his will and spread his ashes on a stormy day.

Allah said ' Be' and there he was embodied before him.
Allah the Exalted asked him, "O my skave! What induced you to do what you did"
He replied, "It was your fear (so that I may not appear before you)"

The Prophet (pbuh) added, "Allah the Exalted rewarded him with his mercy and did not punish him"
