Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan 1533 — The Book of Virtues and Merits (of the Prophet ﷺ and other Prophets ﷺ)

Abu Hurairah Narrated from:

The angel of death was sent to Mûsa (Moses) عليه السلام and when he went to him, Mûsa slapped him and spoiled one of his eyes. The angel went back to his Lord (Allâh), and said, "You sent me to a slave who does not want to die," Allâh restored his eye and said, "Go back and tell him (i.e. Mûsa عليه السلام ) to place his hand over the back of an ox, for he will be allowed to live for the number of years equal to the number of hairs coming under his hand." (So the angel came to him and told him the same).Then Mûsa asked, "O my Lord! What will be then?" He said, "Death will be then." He said, "(Let it be) now." He asked Allâh that He bring him near the Sacred Land at a distance of a stone's throw. Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Were I there I would show you the grave of Mûsa by the way near the red sand-hill." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 423, Vol. 2 )
