3407. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The angel of death was sent to Mūsā (Moses) عليه السلام. When he came to Mūsā, Mūsā slapped him, (and spoiled one of his eyes). The angel returned to his Lord (Allāh) and said, "You have sent me to a slave who does not want to die." Allāh (restored his eye and) said, "Return to him and tell him to put his hand on the back of an ox and for every hair that will come under it, he will be granted one year of life." Mūsā said, "O Lord! What will happen after that?" Allāh replied, "Then death." Mūsā said, "Let it come now." Mūsā then requested Allāh to let him die close to the Sacred Land so much so that he would be at a distance of a stone's throw from it." Abū Hurairah added, "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, 'If I were there, I would show you his grave below the red sandhill on the side of the road'." [See Vol. 2, Hadith No. 1339]

3407 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: " أُرْسِلَ مَلَكُ المَوْتِ إِلَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ صَكَّهُ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ، فَقَالَ: أَرْسَلْتَنِي إِلَى عَبْدٍ لاَ يُرِيدُ المَوْتَ، قَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْ لَهُ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَتْنِ ثَوْرٍ، فَلَهُ بِمَا غَطَّتْ يَدُهُ بِكُلِّ شَعَرَةٍ سَنَةٌ، قَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ، ثُمَّ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ: ثُمَّ المَوْتُ، قَالَ: فَالْآنَ، قَالَ: فَسَأَلَ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُدْنِيَهُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ المُقَدَّسَةِ رَمْيَةً بِحَجَرٍ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ كُنْتُ ثَمَّ لَأَرَيْتُكُمْ قَبْرَهُ، إِلَى جَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ تَحْتَ الكَثِيبِ الأَحْمَرِ» قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ
