حَدَّثَنَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، وَيُونُسُ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ يُونُسُ: رَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - " كَانَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ يَأْتِي النَّاسَ عِيَانًا، قَالَ: فَأَتَى مُوسَى فَلَطَمَهُ فَفَقَأَ عَيْنَهُ، فَأَتَى رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَقَالَ: يَا رَبِّ عَبْدُكَ مُوسَى، فَقَأَ عَيْنِي، وَلَوْلَا كَرَامَتُهُ عَلَيْكَ لَعَنُفْتُ بِهِ - وَقَالَ يُونُسُ: لَشَقَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ - فَقَالَ لَهُ: اذْهَبْ إِلَى عَبْدِي فَقُلْ لَهُ فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ عَلَى جِلْدِ - أَوْ مَسْكِ ثَوْرٍ، فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعَرَةٍ وَارَتْ يَدُهُ سَنَةٌ، فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ: فَقَالَ (٣) مَا بَعْدَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: الْمَوْتُ، قَالَ: فَالْآنَ، قَالَ: فَشَمَّهُ شَمَّةً فَقَبَضَ رُوحَهُ، قَالَ يُونُسُ: فَرَدَّ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْهِ عَيْنَهُ فَكَانَ يَأْتِي النَّاسَ خُفْيَةً " (٤)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Angel of Death used to come before everyone openly to seize their soul. So when he came to Musa (peace be upon him) to seize his soul, Musa (peace be upon him) struck him a blow and gouged out his eye. He returned to the Lord and said, "Your servant has gouged out my eye. If Your mercy had not been upon him, I would have given him a harsh reply." Allah restored his eye and said, "Go back to him and tell him to place his hand on the back of an ox; for every hair that comes under his hand, his life will be extended by one year." Musa (peace be upon him) asked, "O Lord, what will happen after that?" Allah said, "Then death will come." He said, "Then let it be now." So the Angel of Death made him smell something and seized his soul.
