When angel of death came to the prophet [p.b.u.h]

[H@fiz Aziz]

When the angel came to the prophet [p.b.u.h] the angel asked him the first person that if you want to die now or later which never happened what a honor he got from Allah subnallah but he said i want to die now such a honor subnallah no prophet has ever gotten.:w: :D

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

:sl:

To the best of my knowledge, all of the Prophets were given this honor of having the angel of death ask them whether he was permitted to take their soul. For example, Musa a.s. punched out the angel of death's eye when he came to take his soul :D

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) having said:

That the Angel of Death came to Moses and said: Respond (to the call) of Allah (i. e. be prepared for death). Moses (peace be upon him) gave a blow at the eye of the Angel of Death and knocked it out. The Angel went back to Allah (the Exalted) and said: 'You sent me to your servant who does not like to die and he knocked out my eye.' Allah restored his eye to its proper place (and revived his eyesight) and said: Go to My servant and say: Do you want life? And in case you want life, keep your hand on the body of the ox and you would live such number of years as the (number of) hair your hand covers. He (Moses) said: What, then? He said: Then you would die, whereupon he (Moses) said: Then why not now? (He then prayed): Allah, cause me to die close to the sacred land.

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Had I been near that place I would have shown his grave by the side of the path at the red mound. This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Ma'mar.
