Abu Huraira reported that the Angel of Death was sent to Moses ﷺ to inform of his Lord summons. When he came; he Moses boxed him and his eye was knocked out. He the Angel of Death came back to the Lord and said: You sent me to a servant. who did not want to die. Allah restored his eye to its proper place and revived his eyesight ; and then said: Go back to him and tell him that if he wants life he must place his hand on the back of an ox; and he would be granted as many years of life as the number of hair covered by his hand. He Moses said: My Lord what would happen then He said: Then you must court death. He said: Let it be now. And he supplicated Allah to bring him close to the sacred land. Thereupon Allah Messenger ﷺ said: If I were there; I would have shown you his grave beside the road at the red mound.
