Narrated Abu Huraira:
The angel of death was sent to Moses and when he went to him, Moses slapped him severely,
spoiling one of his eyes. The angel went back to his Lord, and said, “You sent me to a slave who does
not want to die.” Allah restored his eye and said, “Go back and tell him (i.e. Moses) to place his hand
over the back of an ox, for he will be allowed to live for a number of years equal to the number of
hairs coming under his hand.” (So the angel came to him and told him the same). Then Moses asked,
“O my Lord! What will be then?” He said, “Death will be then.” He said, “(Let it be) now.” He asked Al –
lah that He bring him near the Sacred Land at a distance of a stone’s throw. Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h)
said, “Were I there I would show you the grave of Moses by the way near the red sand hill.”

Allah’s Islamic nature (true faith of Islam) (i.e. worshipping none but Allah) with which He has cre –
ated human beings. No change let there be in the religion of Allah (i.e. joining none in worship with
Allah). That is the straight religion (Islam) but most of men know, not.” (30.30)
