أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ أُرْسِلَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ إِلَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ صَكَّهُ فَفَقَأَ عَيْنَهُ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ فَقَالَ أَرْسَلْتَنِي إِلَى عَبْدٍ لاَ يُرِيدُ الْمَوْتَ . فَرَدَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِ عَيْنَهُ وَقَالَ ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْ لَهُ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَتْنِ ثَوْرٍ فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ مَا غَطَّتْ يَدُهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ سَنَةٌ . قَالَ أَىْ رَبِّ ثُمَّ مَهْ قَالَ الْمَوْتُ . قَالَ فَالآنَ . فَسَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُدْنِيَهُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ رَمْيَةً بِحَجَرٍ . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَلَوْ كُنْتُ ثَمَّ لأَرَيْتُكُمْ قَبْرَهُ إِلَى جَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ تَحْتَ الْكَثِيبِ الأَحْمَرِ " .
Muhammad ibn Rafi narrated to us, from Abd al-Razzaq, who said: Mamar narrated to us, from Ibn Tawus, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Angel of Death was sent to Moses, peace be upon him. When he came to Moses, Moses struck him and put out his eye. He returned to his Lord and said, You sent me to a servant who does not want to die. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, restored his eye and said, Go back to him and tell him to place his hand on the back of a bull; for every hair covered by his hand, he will have one year. Moses asked, My Lord, then what? He said, Death. Moses said, Then let it be now. He asked Allah, Mighty and Majestic, to bring him to within a stone throw of the Holy Land. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, If I were there, I would show you his grave beside the road beneath the red mound.
