Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 13783

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " كَانَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ يَأْتِي النَّاسَ عِيَانًا ، قَالَ : فَأَتَى مُوسَى فَلَطَمَهُ ، فَفَقَأَ عَيْنَيْهِ ، فَأَتَى رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَقَالَ : يَا رَبِّ ، عَبْدُكَ مُوسَى فَقَأَ عَيْنِي ، وَلَوْلَا كَرَامَتُهُ عَلَيْكَ لَعَتَبْتُ بِهِ - قَالَ يُونُسُ : لَشَقَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ - قَالَ لَهُ : اذْهَبْ إِلَى عَبْدِي فَقُلْ لَهُ : لِيَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى جِلْدٍ أَوْ مَسْكِ ثَوْرٍ ، فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ وَارَتْ يَدُهُ سَنَةٌ . فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ : مَا بَعْدَ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : الْمَوْتُ . قَالَ : فَالْآنَ . قَالَ : فَشَمَّهُ شَمَّةً فَقَبَضَ رُوحَهُ - قَالَ يُونُسُ : فَرَدَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِ عَيْنَهُ ، فَكَانَ يَأْتِي النَّاسَ خُفْيَةً - " . قُلْتُ : فِي الصَّحِيحِ طَرَفٌ مِنْهُ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Angel of Death used to come to people openly. He came to Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him), and Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) slapped him and gouged out his eyes. He went to the Lord and said: 'O my Lord, Your servant Musa has gouged out my eye. Were it not for the honour You have given him, I would have punished him.' (Here one narrator transmitted a different word.) The Lord said to him: 'Go to My servant and tell him to place his hand on a hide, or on the skin of an ox; for every hair that comes under his hand he will be given one year.' The Angel of Death came to Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) (and conveyed this). Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) asked: 'Then what will happen after that?' He replied: 'Death.' Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) said: 'Then (take my soul) now.' So he made Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) smell something and took his soul." Here the narrator Yunus transmitted these words: "Allah Almighty restored the Angel of Death's eye to him, and after that he began to come to people in secret." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Part of this narration is mentioned in the Sahih.
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
