Sunan ad-Darimi — Hadith #55627

Al-Nadr ibn Shumayl informed us, he said: Bahz ibn Hakim informed us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather, he said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. And peace be upon him, he says: “He was a servant of God, and he did not owe a debt to God, and he stayed until a lifetime had passed from him and a lifetime remained, so it was known that He did not find any good in the sight of God, so he called his sons and said: What kind of father do you know? They said: It is good, our father. He said: I do not leave any of you with money that is mine unless I take it from you, or you will do what I command you. He said Then he took a covenant from them, by my Lord, and said: As for me, when I die So take me and burn me with fire until I am like lava, crush me, then scatter me in the wind. He said: So they did that to him, by the Lord of Muhammad, when he died, and he came. He was the best he had ever been, so he was presented to his Lord, and He said: What brought you to the Fire? He said: I fear You, O Lord. He said: I hear You as a monk. He said: So repent to him. Abu Muhammad said: He accumulates, he saves.
