5713 - وعنه، قال: قال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم:"جاء ملك الموت إلى موسى ابن عمران، فقال له: اجب ربك". قال:"فلطم موسى عين ملك الموت ففقاها". قال:"فرجع الملك إلى الله، فقال: إنك ارسلتني إلى عبد لك لا يريد الموت، وقد فقا عيني"قال:"فرد الله إليه عينه، وقال: ارجع إلى عبدي فقل: الحياة تريد؟ فإن كنت تريد الحياة فضع يدك على متن ثور، فما توارت يدك من شعره فإنك تعيش بها سنة، قال: ثم مه؟، قال: ثم تموت. قال: فالآن من قريب، رب ادنني من الارض المقدسة رمية بحجر". قال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم:"والله لو اني عنده لاريتكم قبره إلى جنب الطريق عند الكثيب الاحمر". متفق عليه.
He reported God's messenger as saying, "The angel of death came to Moses, son of Imran and told him to answer his Lord's summons, whereupon Moses gave the angel of death a blow in the eye and knocked it out. The angel then returned to God most high and said, `Thou didst send me to a servant of Thine who does not wish to die, and he has put out my eye.' God restored his eye to him and said, `Go back to my servant and ask him if it is life he wants, then tell him that if he wants life he must place his hand on an ox's back, and he will live a year for every hair which covers his hand.' [Moses] asked what would happen after that, and when he was told that he would die he said, `Let it be now without delay. My Lord, bring me within a stone's throw of the holy land'." God's messenger said, "I swear by God that if I were there, I would show you his grave beside the road at the red mound.' [*] (Bukhari and Muslim.)
