حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: " أُرْسِلَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ إِلَى مُوسَى، فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ، صَكَّهُ فَفَقَأَ عَيْنَهُ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَقَالَ: أَرْسَلْتَنِي إِلَى عَبْدٍ لَا يُرِيدُ الْمَوْتَ قَالَ: فَرَدَّ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِ عَيْنَهُ، وَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْ لَهُ: يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَتْنِ ثَوْرٍ، فَلَهُ بِمَا غَطَّتْ يَدُهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ سَنَةٌ. فَقَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ، ثُمَّ مَهْ؟ قَالَ: ثُمَّ الْمَوْتُ. قَالَ: فَالْآنَ. فَسَأَلَ اللهَ أَنْ يُدْنِيَهُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ رَمْيَةً بِحَجَرٍ "، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَلَوْ كُنْتُ ثَمَّ، لَأَرَيْتُكُمْ قَبْرَهُ إِلَى جَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ، تَحْتَ الْكَثِيبِ الْأَحْمَرِ " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Angel of Death was sent to Musa (peace be upon him) to seize his soul and he reached him, Musa (peace be upon him) struck him a blow and his eye was gouged out. He returned to the Lord and said, "You have sent me to a servant who does not want to die." 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 increased 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." Then Musa (peace be upon him) requested Allah to bring him near Baitul Maqdis as much as the distance of a stone's throw. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If I were there, I would show you the grave of Musa (peace be upon him) beneath a red sand hill by the side of the road."
