"إِنَّ مَلَكَ الْمَوتِ كان يَأْتِى النَّاس عِيَانًا؛ فأَتى مُوسَى فَلَطَمه ففقأَ عَيْنَهُ فَعَرجَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ يَارَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ موسى فعلَ بى كذا وكذا ولولا كرامَتُه عليك لَشَقَقْتُ عليه، فَقَال اللَّه: إِيتِ عبدى موسى فَخيِّره بين أَن يضع يَده على متنِ ثورٍ فله بكلِّ شِعرة وارتها كفُّه سنةٌ، وبين أَن يَموت الآن فَخَيَّرَهُ، فَقَال مُوسَى: فَمَا بَعْدَ ذِلك؟ قالَ: الْمَوْتُ، قال: فالآن، فَشمّهُ شمَّةً فقبضَ رُوحَه، وردَّ اللَّه عليه عَيْنَه فكان بَعْدُ: يَأْتِى الناس (في) خِفْيَة".
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said: Yunus narrated that the topic was raised to the Prophet ﷺ. The Angel of Death used to come to people openly. He came to Musa (Moses) and slapped him, which caused his eye to be damaged. Musa went to his Lord and said: "O Lord, Moses, your servant, slapped my eye and if it wasn't for his high position with You, I would have retaliated against him." Yunus said: "I complained to him, so he told me to go to his servant and tell him to put his hand on the skin of a bull or a musk, then every hair on his body would be cured." His hand had a wound, so he came to him and said: "What is after this?" He said: "Death." He said: "And now?" He said: "Breathe a breath." So his soul was taken. Yunus said: "Allah restored his eye to him, and he would come to people secretly."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يُونُسُ رَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَانَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ يَأْتِي النَّاسَ عِيَانًا قَالَ فَأَتَى مُوسَى فَلَطَمَهُ فَفَقَأَ عَيْنَهُ فَأَتَى رَبَّهُ ﷻ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ عَبْدُكَ مُوسَى فَقَأَ عَيْنِي وَلَوْلَا كَرَامَتُهُ عَلَيْكَ لَعَنُفْتُ بِهِ وَقَالَ يُونُسُ لَشَقَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى عَبْدِي فَقُلْ لَهُ فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ عَلَى جِلْدِ أَوْ مَسْكِ ثَوْرٍ فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعَرَةٍ وَارَتْ يَدُهُ سَنَةٌ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ فَقَالَ مَا بَعْدَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ فَالْآنَ قَالَ فَشَمَّهُ شَمَّةً فَقَبَضَ رُوحَهُ قَالَ يُونُسُ فَرَدَّ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَيْهِ عَيْنَهُ فَكَانَ يَأْتِي النَّاسَ خُفْيَةً
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the Angel of Death used to approach people visibly. So, he came to Musa (Moses) son of Imran and Musa slapped him, thus causing his eye to pop out. As a result, the Angel of Death complained to Allah saying, 'O Lord, your slave Musa has done such and such to me. Had it not been for his honor in Your sight, I would have avenged myself on him.' Allah commanded, 'Go to My slave Musa and give him the choice between placing his hand on the back of a bull and for every hair that his hand covers, he will live for a year, or to die at that moment.' So, the Angel of Death came to Musa and presented him with the choice. Musa asked, 'What will happen after that?' The Angel of Death replied, 'Then, death will come.' Musa said, 'Then, now is better.' He took a deep breath and the Angel of Death seized his soul. Allah restored his sight to him. After this incident, the Angel of Death approached people in secret."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ كَانَ يَأْتِي النَّاسَ عِيَانًا فَأَتَى مُوسَى بْنَ عِمْرَانَ فَلَطَمَهُ مُوسَى فَفَقَأَ عَيْنَهُ فَعَرَجَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ مُوسَى فَعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَوْلَا كَرَامَتُهُ عَلَيْكَ لَشَقَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ إِيتِ عَبْدِي مُوسَى فَخَيِّرْهُ بَيْنَ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَتْنِ ثَوْرٍ فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ وَارَتْهَا كَفُّهُ سَنَةٌ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ الْآنَ فَأَتَاهُ فَخَيَّرَهُ فَقَالَ مُوسَى فَمَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ فَالْآنَ إِذًا فَشَمَّهُ شَمَّةً فَقَبَضَ رُوحَهُ وَرَدَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بَصَرَهُ فَكَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَأْتِي النَّاسَ فِي خِفْيَةٍ
