حدثنا أبو الحسن بن شَبَّويهِ، حدثنا أبو الفضل جعفر بن محمد بن الحارث، حدثنا علي بن مِهْران، حدثنا سلمة بن الفضل، عن محمد بن إسحاق، قال: كان صفيُّ الله موسى قد كَرِهَ الموتَ وأعظمَه، فلما كَرِهَه أحبَّ الله أن يُحبِّب إليه الموتَ ويُكرِّه إليه الحياةَ، فحُوِّلت النبوةُ إلى يُوشَع بن نُون، فكان يَغدُو إليه ويَرُوح، فيقول له موسى: يا نبيَّ الله، ما أحدَثَ اللهُ إليك؟ فيقول له يُوشَع بن نُون: يا نبي الله، ألم أصحَبْك كذا وكذا سنةً، فهل كنتُ أسألُك عن شيءٍ مما أحدَثَ اللهُ إليك حتى تكون أنت الذي تَبتدئ به وتَذكُرُه، فلما رأى ذلك موسى كَرِهَ الحياةَ وأحبَّ الموت (1).
It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: The chosen Prophet of Allah, Musa (peace be upon him), disliked death and considered it very heavy (severe). When he disliked death, Allah Almighty wished to make death beloved to him and make life disliked to him. So (the line of revelation and messengership) was transferred to Yusha' bin Nun (peace be upon him). Musa (peace be upon him) would come to him morning and evening, and Musa (peace be upon him) would ask him: "O Prophet of Allah! What new revelation has Allah Almighty sent to you?" Yusha' bin Nun (peace be upon him) would reply to him: "O Prophet of Allah! Did I not remain in your company for so many years? Did I ever ask you about what Allah revealed to you, rather than you yourself beginning and mentioning it to me?" So when Musa (peace be upon him) saw this state of affairs, life became disliked to him and he began to love death.
أخبرنا الحسن بن محمد الإسفراييني، حدثنا محمد بن أحمد بن البَرَاء، حدثنا عبد المُنعِم، عن أبيه، عن وهب بن مُنبِّه، قال: ذُكِر لي أنه كان مِن أمر وفاة صَفِيِّ الله موسى ﷺ أنه إنما كان يَستَظِلُّ في عَريشٍ ويأكُلُ ويَشربُ في نَقيرٍ من حَجَر، كما تَكْرَعُ الدابّةُ في ذلك النَّقير، تواضعًا لله، حتى أكرمَه اللهُ بما أكرمَه به من كلامِه، فكان مِن أمر وفاته أنه خرج يومًا من عَريشه ذلك لبعض حاجتِه، ولا يَعلَمُ أحدٌ مِن خَلْق الله، فمرَّ برَهْطٍ من الملائكة يَحفِرون قبرًا، فعرَفَهم فأقبل إليهم حتى وقف عليهم، فإذا هم يَحفِرون قبرًا، ولم يَرَ شيئًا قطُّ أحسنَ منه مِثلَ ما فيه من الخُضْرة والنَّضْرة والبَهْجة، فقال لهم: يا ملائكةَ الله، لمن تَحفِرون هذا القَبْرَ؟ قالوا: نَحفِرُه واللهِ لعبدٍ كريمٍ على ربّه، فقال: إنَّ هذا العبدَ مِن الله بمَنْزِلٍ، ما رأيتُ كاليوم مَضجَعًا ولا مَدْخلًا، وذلك حين حَضَرَ من الله ما حَضَرَ فِي قَبْضِه، فقالت له الملائكةُ: يا صفيَّ الله، أتُحبُّ أن تكون ذلك؟ قال: وَدِدتُ، قالوا: فانزِلْ فاضطجِعْ فيه وتَوجَّهْ إلى ربِّك، ثم تَنفَّسْ أسهلَ تَنفُّسٍ تَنفّسْتَه قطُّ، فنزل فاضطجع فيه وتوجَّه إلى ربِّه، ثم تنفَّسَ فقَبضَ اللهُ روحَه، ثم صَلَّت عليه الملائكةُ، وكان صفيُّ الله موسى صلى الله عليه زاهدًا في الدنيا راغبًا في الآخرة (1). ذكر أيوب بن أموص نبيُّ الله المُبتلَى صلى الله عليه حدثنا الحاكمُ أبو عبد الله محمد بن عبد الله الحافظ إملاءً في رجب سنة إحدى وأربعِ مئةٍ:
It is narrated from Wahb bin Munabbih (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: The account of the death of the chosen Prophet of Allah, Musa (peace be upon him), was related to me: he would take shade only in a shelter (hut) and would eat and drink from a hollowed stone vessel, and, displaying utmost humility and lowliness before Allah Almighty, he would drink water from that stone by putting his mouth to it like an animal, until Allah Almighty bestowed on him the great honour of His speech. His death came about in this way: one day he went out of that hut of his for some need, and none of Allah's creation knew of it. On the way he passed by a group of angels who were digging a grave. He recognised the angels and came and stood by them while they were digging the grave. Musa (peace be upon him) had never seen anything more beautiful, green, fresh and radiant than that grave. He asked the angels: "O angels of Allah! For whom are you digging this grave?" They replied: "By Allah! We are digging it for a servant of Allah who is greatly honoured by his Lord." Musa (peace be upon him) said: "Surely this servant holds a very high rank and station with Allah; I have never until today seen a better resting place and abode than this." This was at the time when the appointed moment from Allah Almighty for taking his soul had arrived. The angels said to him: "O chosen Prophet of Allah! Would you like to be that fortunate servant?" He said: "That is my wish too." The angels said: "Then go down, lie in it and turn towards your Lord, then take a breath easier and more restful than any you have ever taken before." So he went down, lay in that grave and turned towards his Lord, then he took a breath and Allah Almighty took his soul, and then the angels performed his funeral prayer. Indeed the chosen Prophet of Allah, Musa (peace be upon him), was indifferent to the world (an ascetic) and a seeker of the Hereafter.
