narrated that Abü Hurairah said: "The Angel of Death was sent to Müsâ , and when he came to him he slapped him and put out his eye. He went back to his Lord and said: 'You sent me to a slave of Yours who does not want to die.' Allah restored his eye and said: 'Go back to him and tell him to put his hand on the back of an ox, and however many hairs his hand covers, he will have one year for each hair.' He said: '0 Lord, then what?' He said: 'Death.' He said: 'Let it be now.' And he asked Allah to bring him near to the holy land, a stone's throw from it. And the Messenger of Allah kRi, said: 'If I were there, I would show you his grave beside the road, beneath the red mound."

157 - (2372) وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، - قَالَ: عَبْدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا وقَالَ: ابْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا - عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: أُرْسِلَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ إِلَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ صَكَّهُ فَفَقَأَ عَيْنَهُ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ فَقَالَ: أَرْسَلْتَنِي إِلَى عَبْدٍ لَا يُرِيدُ الْمَوْتَ، قَالَ فَرَدَّ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ عَيْنَهُ وَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْ لَهُ: يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَتْنِ ثَوْرٍ، فَلَهُ، بِمَا غَطَّتْ يَدُهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ، سَنَةٌ، قَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ ثُمَّ مَهْ؟ قَالَ: ثُمَّ الْمَوْتُ، قَالَ: فَالْآنَ، فَسَأَلَ اللهَ أَنْ يُدْنِيَهُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ رَمْيَةً بِحَجَرٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَلَوْ كُنْتُ ثَمَّ، لَأَرَيْتُكُمْ قَبْرَهُ إِلَى جَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ، تَحْتَ الْكَثِيبِ الْأَحْمَرِ»
