حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يُونُسَ،، ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، [قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ] : قَالَ أَبِي: " لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ "، قَالَ: " جَاءَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ إِلَى مُوسَى، فَقَالَ: أَجِبْ رَبَّكَ، فَلَطَمَ مُوسَى عَيْنَ مَلَكِ الْمَوْتِ، فَفَقَأَهَا، فَرَجَعَ الْمَلَكُ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّكَ بَعَثْتَنِي إِلَى عَبْدٍ لَكَ لَا يُرِيدُ الْمَوْتَ، وَقَدْ فَقَأَ عَيْنِي، قَالَ: فَرَدَّ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ عَيْنَهُ، وَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَى عَبْدِي، فَقُلْ لَهُ الْحَيَاةَ تُرِيدُ، فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ الْحَيَاةَ فَضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَى مَتْنِ ثَوْرٍ، فَمَا وَارَتْ (١) يَدُكَ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَعِيشُ بَهَا (٢) سَنَةً، قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَهْ (٣) ؟ قَالَ: ثُمَّ الْمَوْتُ، قَالَ: فَالْآنَ يَا رَبِّ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ " (٤)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Angel of Death came to Musa (peace be upon him) to seize his soul and said to him, "Respond to the call of your Lord," Musa (peace be upon him) struck him with a slap and gouged out his eye. He returned to his 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, he will be granted one year of life." Musa (peace be upon him) asked, "O Lord, what will happen after that?" He replied, "Then death will come." He said, "Then let it be now."
