Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Angel of Death was sent to Moses (علیہ السلام) (peace be upon him) to inform of his Lords summons. When he came, he ( Moses (علیہ السلام)) 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 (علیہ السلام)) 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 Allahs Messenger ﷺ said: If I were there, I would have shown you his grave beside the road at the red mound.
