Lu'lu' wal-Marjan

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Angel of Death (in the form of a man) was sent to Musa (peace be upon him). When he came, Musa (peace be upon him) struck him with a strong slap (not recognizing him) and gouged out his eye. He returned to his Lord and said, "O Allah! You have sent me to a servant who does not want to die." Allah Almighty restored his eye as it was before and said, "Go back and tell him to place his hand on the back of an ox, and for every hair that comes under his hand, he will be granted one year of life." (When this message of Allah Almighty reached Musa, peace be upon him,) he said, "O Allah! What will happen after that?" Allah Almighty said, "Then death will still come." Musa (peace be upon him) said, "Then let it come now." Then he prayed to Allah to bring him close to the Holy Land at a distance of a stone's throw. Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I were there, I would show you his grave, which is near the path by the red sand hill."
