وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " جَاءَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ إِلَى مُوسَى ابْنِ عِمْرَانَ فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَجِبْ رَبَّكَ ". قَالَ: «فَلَطَمَ مُوسَى عَيْنَ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ فَفَقَأَهَا» قَالَ: " فَرَجَعَ الْمَلَكُ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّكَ أَرْسَلْتَنِي إِلَى عَبْدٍ لَكَ لَا يُرِيدُ الْمَوْتَ وَقَدْ فَقَأَ عَيْنِي " قَالَ: " فَرَدَّ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ عَيْنَهُ وَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَى عَبْدِي فَقُلْ: الْحَيَاةَ تُرِيدُ؟ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ الْحَيَاةَ فَضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَى مَتْنِ ثَوْرٍ فَمَا تَوَارَتْ يَدُكَ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ فَإِنَّكَ تَعِيشُ بِهَا سَنَةً قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَهْ؟ قَالَ: ثُمَّ تَمُوتُ. قَالَ: فَالْآنَ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنَ الْأَرْضِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ رَمْيَةً بِحَجَرٍ ". قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَنِّي عِنْدَهُ لَأَرَيْتُكُمْ قَبْرَهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ الطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ الْكَثِيبِ الْأَحْمَرِ» . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
He reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘The Angel of Death came to Moses, son of ‘Imran, and said to him, “Answer your Lord.” Moses struck the Angel of Death in the eye and put it out. The angel returned to Allah and said, “You sent me to a servant of Yours who does not want to die, and he has put out my eye.” Allah restored his eye and said, “Go back to My servant and ask him whether he wants life. If he wants life, tell him to place his hand on the back of an ox, and for every hair his hand covers, he will live one year.” He asked, “Then what?” He said, “Then you will die.” Moses said, “Then let it be now. My Lord, bring me to within a stone’s throw of the Holy Land.”’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘By Allah, if I were there, I would show you his grave beside the road, at the red mound.’ Agreed upon.
