ذكر وفاة موسى - عليه السلام -
Mention of the death of Musa (peace be upon him)
Hadith Number: 4156
حدثنا ابو الحسن بن شبويه، حدثنا ابو الفضل جعفر بن محمد بن الحارث، حدثنا علي بن مهران، حدثنا سلمة بن الفضل، عن محمد بن إسحاق، قال: كان صفي الله موسى قد كره الموت واعظمه، فلما كرهه احب الله ان يحبب إليه الموت ويكره إليه الحياة، فحولت النبوة إلى يوشع بن نون، فكان يغدو إليه ويروح، فيقول له موسى: يا نبي الله، ما احدث الله إليك؟ فيقول له يوشع بن نون: يا نبي الله، الم اصحبك كذا وكذا سنة، فهل كنت اسالك عن شيء مما احدث الله إليك حتى تكون انت الذي تبتدئ به وتذكره، فلما راى ذلك موسى كره الحياة واحب الموت (1).
It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: The chosen Prophet of Allah, Musa (peace be upon him), disliked death and considered it very heavy (severe). When he disliked death, Allah Almighty wished to make death beloved to him and make life disliked to him. So (the line of revelation and messengership) was transferred to Yusha' bin Nun (peace be upon him). Musa (peace be upon him) would come to him morning and evening, and Musa (peace be upon him) would ask him: "O Prophet of Allah! What new revelation has Allah Almighty sent to you?" Yusha' bin Nun (peace be upon him) would reply to him: "O Prophet of Allah! Did I not remain in your company for so many years? Did I ever ask you about what Allah revealed to you, rather than you yourself beginning and mentioning it to me?" So when Musa (peace be upon him) saw this state of affairs, life became disliked to him and he began to love death.

Grading: Its narrators are thiqah (trustworthy), and al-Busiri declared it sahih in "Ithaf al-Mahara" (5791), as did Ibn Hajar in "al-Matalib al-'Aliyah" (3455). (Identification of the narrator): al-Hakam is Ibn 'Utaybah.
(1) رجاله ثقات، وصحَّحه البوصيري في "إتحاف المهرة" (5791)، وابن حجر في "المطالب العالية" (3455). الحكم: هو ابن عُتيبة.
Reference / Source: It was recorded by Ahmad bin Mani' in his "Musnad" (as in "al-Matalib al-'Aliyah" and "Ithaf al-Khiyarah"), al-Tabari in his "Tafsir" 22/ 52, al-Husayn al-Mahamili in his "Amali" (in the transmission of Ibn Yahya al-Bayyi') (176), al-Tha'labi in his "Tafsir" 8/ 66, al-Wahidi in "al-Tafsir al-Wasit" 3/ 484, Ibn Asakir in "Tarikh Dimashq" 61/ 172, and al-Diya' in "al-Mukhtarah" 2/ (611), through two routes from 'Abbad bin al-'Awwam, with this chain.
وأخرجه أحمد بن مَنيع في "مسنده" كما في "المطالب العالية" و"إتحاف الخيرة"، والطبري في "تفسيره" 22/ 52، والحسين المحاملي في "أماليه" برواية ابن يحيى البيّع (176)، والثعلبي في "تفسيره" 8/ 66، والواحدي في "التفسير الوسيط" 3/ 484، وابن عساكر في "تاريخ دمشق" 61/ 172، والضياء في "المختارة" 2/ (611) من طريقين عن عبّاد بن العوّام، بهذا الإسناد.
Details of the narration: This narration is also reported from the hadith of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) with a different wording, in Ibn Abi Shaybah 11/ 529-530, al-Tabari's "Tafsir" 9/ 73, Ibn Abi Hatim's "Tafsir" 5/ 1573, and al-Diya' al-Maqdisi's "al-Ahadith al-Mukhtarah" (686), via 'Umarah bin Abd al-Saluli from Ali. It mentions that "the two sons of Harun were with their father and their uncle Musa when Allah willed to take Harun's soul. When Musa (peace be upon him) learned that the Children of Israel accused him of killing Harun, he said: How could I kill him when his two sons were with me?! Then he said to them: Choose whomever you wish; so they chose seventy men (in the narration of Ibn Abi Shaybah and al-Diya': so they chose ten from each tribe)." He said: That is His saying: ﴿And Musa chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment﴾ [al-A'raf: 155]. He said: "When they reached him, they said: O Harun, who killed you? He said: No one killed me; rather, Allah took my soul. They said: O Musa, we will not disobey after today …"
Important point: The narration of Sa'id bin Jubayr is more authentic, and it agrees better with the narration of al-Suddi before this one. In any case, these are mawquf reports containing nothing marfu' to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and most likely they are taken from "the People of the Book". And Allah the Exalted knows best.

وقد رُوي من حديث علي بن أبي طالب بسياقة أخرى عند ابن أبي شَيْبة 11/ 529 - 530، والطبري في "تفسيره" 9/ 73، وابن أبي حاتم في "تفسيره" 5/ 1573، والضياء المقدسي في "الأحاديث المختارة" (686) من طريق عمارة بن عبد السَّلُولي عن عليّ، إلّا أنه ذكر فيه أنَّ ابني هارون كانا مع أبيهما وعمهما موسى لما أراد الله قبض هارون، وأنَّ موسى قال لما بلغه اتهام بني إسرائيل له بقتل هارون: كيف أقتلُه ومعي ابناهُ؟! وأنه قال لهم: اختاروا من شئتم، فاختاروا سبعين رجلًا - وعند ابن أبي شَيْبة والضياء: فاختاروا من كل سبط عشرة - قال: فذلك قوله: ﴿وَاخْتَارَ مُوسَى قَوْمَهُ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا لِمِيقَاتِنَا﴾ [الأعراف: 155] قال: فلما انتهوا إليه قالوا: يا هارون من قتلك؟ قال: ما قتلني أحد، ولكنني توفاني الله، قالوا: يا موسى، لن نعصي بعد اليوم … ورواية سعيد بن جُبَير أصحُّ، وهي أوفق لرواية السُّدِّي التي قبل هذه، وعلى كل حال فهذه أخبار موقوفة ليس فيها شيء من المرفوع إلى النبي ﷺ والغالب أنها مأخوذة عن أهل الكتاب، والله تعالى أعلم.
