[Machine] It was part of the destiny of the death of the Prophet Moses ﷺ that he used to seek shelter in an arish (kind of tree) and eat and drink from a stream of water from a rock, just as an animal would graze near that stream. This was his humility towards Allah, until Allah honored him with what He honored him through His words. It was part of his destiny that one day he left his arish for some of his needs, and no one from the creation of Allah knew about it. He passed by a group of angels who were digging a grave, and he recognized them, so he approached them until he stood near them. He found them digging a grave, and he had never seen anything better than what was in it, in terms of greenery, freshness, and beauty. He said to them, "O angels of Allah, for whom are you digging this grave?" They said, "We are digging it for a noble servant of his Lord." He said, "Indeed, this servant is of a station from Allah such that I have never seen anything like it, not as a sleeping place nor as an entrance. This is when he received what Allah had ordained for him in his passing away." The angels said to him, "O beloved of Allah, do you desire to be like this?" He said, "I wish." They said, "Then come down and lie in it, and turn towards your Lord, then take a breath that is the easiest breath you have ever taken." So he came down and lay in it, and turned towards his Lord, and then took a breath. Then Allah took his soul, and the angels prayed on him. The Prophet Moses ﷺ was ascetic in the world and longing for the hereafter.
