Hadith 10387

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قَدْ كَانَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ يَأْتِي النَّاسَ عَيَانًا قَالَ فَأَتَى مُوسَى فَلَطَمَهُ فَفَقَأَ عَيْنَهُ فَأَتَى رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ عَبْدُكَ مُوسَى فَقَأَ عَيْنِي وَلَوْلَا كَرَامَتُهُ عَلَيْكَ لَعَنَفْتُ بِهِ وَقَالَ يُونُسُ لَشَقَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى عَبْدِي فَقُلْ لَهُ فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ عَلَى جِلْدِ أَوْ مَتْنِ ثَوْرٍ فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ وَارَتْ يَدُهُ سَنَةٌ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا بَعْدَ هَذَا قَالَ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ فَالْآنَ قَالَ فَشَمَّهُ شَمَّةً فَقَبَضَ رُوحَهُ قَالَ يُونُسُ فَرَدَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَيْنَهُ وَكَانَ يَأْتِي النَّاسَ خُفْيَةً
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The Angel of Death used to come to people and they would see him. In the same way, he came to Musa (peace be upon him), but Musa struck him and gouged out his eye. The angel returned to Allah Almighty and said: O my Lord! Your servant Musa has gouged out my eye (by slapping me). If You had not honored him, I would have dealt harshly with him. Allah Almighty said: Go back to My servant and tell him to place his hand on the back of an ox; for every hair that comes under his hand, he will live for that many years. When Musa (peace be upon him) heard this from the angel, he asked: What will happen after that? The reply was: Then death will come to you. He said: Then let it be now. Then the angel made him smell something, and his soul was taken. Yunus, the narrator, said: Thus Allah Almighty restored the angel’s eye, and after that, the angel began to come to people in a concealed manner.
