٢٤۔ كِتَابُ تَوَارِيخِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِينَ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالْمُرْسَلِينَ
[Machine] And Allah mourned for Harun when Allah wanted to take him. So when Allah mourned for him, he was saddened. And when he passed away, he felt extreme grief and wept for a long time. When he returned from that, Allah came to console him and advise him. He said to him, "O Musa, it is not appropriate for you to grieve over something lost to me or seek companionship with anyone other than me. And you should not rely on anyone other than me. And your grief for Harun now should only be for my sake. How can you feel lonely for something from this world when you hear my words? Or how can you grieve for something lost in this world after I have chosen you with my messages and my words, and mentioned long conversations with you?" Musa said, "Harun passed away when he was 117 years old, three years before his time was due to end. And Harun passed away when he was 120 years old, while Musa remained for three more years until he reached the age of 120. And the children of Israel were scattered, coming together and then separating."
وَنَعَى اللَّهُ هَارُونَ لِمُوسَى حِينَ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقْبِضَهُ فَلَمَّا نَعَاهُ لَهُ حَزِنَ فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ جَزَعَ جَزَعًا شَدِيدًا وَبَكَى بُكَاءً طَوِيلًا فَلَمَّا عَادَ فِي ذَلِكَ أَقْبَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ يُعَزِّيهِ وَيَعِظُهً فَقَالَ لَهُ «يَا مُوسَى مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَكَ أَنْ تَحِنَّ إِلَى فَقْدِ شَيْءٍ مَعِي وَلَا أَنْ تَسْتَأْنِسَ بِغَيْرِي وَلَا أَنْ تُشَدَّ رُكَبَكَ إِلَّا بِي وَلَا أَنْ يَكُونَ جَزَعُكَ هَذَا الْآنَ عَلَى هَارُونَ إِلَّا لِي وَكَيْفَ تَسْتَوْحِشُ إِلَى شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْأَشْيَاءِ وَأَنْتَ تَسْمَعُ كَلَامِي أَمْ كَيْفَ تَحِنُّ إِلَى فَقْدِ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا بَعْدَ إِذِ اصْطَفَيْتُكَ بِرِسَالَاتِي وَبِكَلَامِي وَذَكَرَ مُنَاجَاةً طَوِيلَةً» قَالَ وَقُبِضَ هَارُونُ وَمُوسَى ابْنُ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْقَضِيَ التِّيهُ بِثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ وَقُبِضَ هَارُونُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ بَقِيَ مُوسَى بَعْدَهُ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ حَتَّى تَمَّ لَهُ مِائَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ سَنَةً وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ عَلَيْهِ يَجْتَمِعُونَ عَلَيْهِ مَرَّةً وَيَفْتَرِقُونَ أُخْرَى
[Machine] And from among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, it is reported that Allah revealed to Musa ibn Imran, "Indeed, I shall cause Harun to die. So bring him to a specific mountain." So Musa and Harun set off towards that mountain, and suddenly they came across a tree resembling a well-built house. And within it, they found a bed with a comfortable mattress. And there was a pleasant scent in the air. When Harun saw the mountain, the house, and everything inside it, he was amazed and said, "O Musa! I would love to sleep on this bed." Musa replied, "Then go ahead and sleep on it." Harun expressed his fear, saying, "I fear that the Lord of this house may be angry with me." Musa assured him, saying, "Do not fear, I shall protect you from the Lord of this house. So go ahead and sleep." Harun then said, "O Musa, but rather you sleep with me, for if the Lord of this house comes, He will be angry with me and you as well." So when they both slept, Harun died. Upon waking up and finding his brother dead, Musa said, "O Harun, you deceived me!" Then, when Harun was taken, that house was lifted and that tree disappeared, and the bed was raised up to the heavens. When Musa returned to the Children of Israel without Harun, they accused him, saying, "Musa killed Harun out of envy, for the Children of Israel loved Harun more than Musa." Harun was known for his kindness and gentleness among them, while Musa had some harshness towards them. When Musa heard these accusations, he said to them, "Woe to you! Has my brother’s killing become an accusation against me?!" And when they persisted in their claim, he stood up and performed two units of prayer, then he supplicated to Allah. As a result, the bed was brought down from the heavens until it was visible to them between the sky and the earth, thus confirming Musa's truthfulness.
وَعَنْ أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَوْحَى إِلَى مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّي هَارُونَ فَأْتِ بِهِ جَبَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَانْطَلَقَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ الْجَبَلِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِشَجَرَةٍ مَثَّلَهَا بِبَيْتٍ مَبْنِيٍّ وَإِذَا هُمْ فِيهِ بِسَرِيرٍ عَلَيْهِ فُرُشٌ وَإِذَا فِيهِ رِيحٌ طَيِّبٌ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ هَارُونُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَبَلِ وَالْبَيْتِ وَمَا فِيهِ أَعْجَبَهُ وَقَالَ يَا مُوسَى إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ أَنْ أَنَامَ عَلَى هَذَا السَّرِيرِ قَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى فَنَمْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ رَبُّ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ فَيَغْضَبَ عَلَيَّ قَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى لَا تَرْهَبْ أَنَا أَكْفِيكَ رَبَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ فَنَمْ فَقَالَ يَا مُوسَى بَلْ نَمْ مَعِي فَإِنْ جَاءَ رَبُّ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ غَضِبَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَيْكَ جَمِيعًا فَلَمَّا نَامَا أَخَذَ هَارُونَ الْمَوْتُ فَلَمَّا وَجَدَ حِسَّهُ قَالَ يَا مُوسَى خَدَعَتْنِي فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ رُفِعَ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتُ وَذَهَبَتْ تِلْكَ الشَّجَرَةُ وَرُفِعَ السَّرِيرُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ هَارُونُ قَالُوا إِنَّ مُوسَى قَتَلَ هَارُونَ وَحَسَدَهُ حُبَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَهُ وَكَانَ هَارُونُ آلَفَ عِنْدَهُمْ وَأَلْيَنَ لَهُمْ مِنْ مُوسَى وَكَانَ فِي مُوسَى بَعْضُ الْغِلَظِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَهُمْ وَيْحَكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ أَخِي أَفَتَرُونِي أَقْتُلُهُ؟ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا عَلَيْهِ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ دَعَا اللَّهَ فَنَزَلَ بِالسَّرِيرِ حَتَّى نَظَرُوا إِلَيْهِ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَصَدَّقُوهُ
[Machine] From Ali, in his saying, exalted and noble: "O you who have believed, do not be like those who harmed Moses; then Allah cleared him of what they said." (Al-Ahzab 69) He said: Moses ascended the mountain and Aaron died. The children of Israel said to Moses, "You have killed him; he was more beloved to us than you and was gentler to us than you, so they harmed him in that." Then Allah commanded the angels and they carried him, passing him by the gatherings of the children of Israel until they learned of his death, then they buried him. No one except the angels knew his grave. And indeed, Allah made him deaf and dumb.
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ آذَوْا مُوسَى فَبَرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا} [الأحزاب 69] قَالَ صَعِدَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ الْجَبَلَ فَمَاتَ هَارُونُ فَقَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى أَنْتَ قَتَلْتَهُ كَانَ أَشَدَّ حُبًّا لَنَا مِنْكَ وَأَلْيَنَ لَنَا مِنْكَ فَآذَوْهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَ اللَّهُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَحَمَلَتْهُ فَمَرُّوا بِهِ عَلَى مَجَالِسِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى عَلِمُوا بِمَوْتِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ قَبْرَهُ إِلَّا الرَّخَمُ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَهُ أَصَمَّ أَبْكَمَ
