[6149] 158 - (...) It was narrated that Hammām bin Munabbih said: "This is what Abū Hurairah narrated to us from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ." He narrated a number of Ahadīth, including the following: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The Angel of Death came to Mūsā ﷺ, and said: "Answer the call of your Lord." Mūsā ﷺ, slapped the eye of the Angel of Death and put it out. The Angel went back to Allāh, Exalted is He, and said: "You have sent me to a slave of Yours who does not want to die, and he has put out my eye." Allāh restored his eye and said: "Go back to My slave and say: 'Do you want to live? If you want to live, put your hand on the back of an ox and however many hairs your hand covers, you will have one year for every hair.''" He said: "Then what?" He said: "Then you will die." He (Mūsā (ﷺ) said: "Rather let it be now. O Lord, cause me to die a stone's throw from the holy land." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'By Allāh, if I were there I would show you his grave, beside the road, beneath the red mound."
