It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The likeness of one who flees from death is that of a fox from whom the earth is demanding its debt. So it began to run until, when it was exhausted and breathless, it entered its burrow. Then the earth said to it: 'O fox! Pay my debt.' So it came out (in terror), breaking wind, and kept on in that state until its neck broke and it died."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Yunus except Mu'adh bin Muhammad al-Hudhali, the nephew of Abu Bakr al-Hudhali, and it is narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) only with this chain."
