Ahmad b. al-Hasan al-Qattan narrated to us. He said: Al-Hasan b. `Ali al-Sikri narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Zakariyya al-Basri narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. `Ammara narrated to us from his father. He said: I said to al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad عليه السلام: Inform me of the passing of Musa b. `Imran عليه السلام. So, he said: When he met his fate, and depleted his term, and was cut away from food, the Angel of Death met him and said to him: “Peace be unto you, O he who Allah has spoken to.” So, Musa عليه السلام said to him: “And also with you. Who are you?” So, he said: “I am the Angel of Death.” He said: “What brings you?” He said: “I have come to take your soul.” So, Musa عليه السلام said to him: “Where will you take my soul out from?” He said: “From your mouth.” Musa said to him: “How, when I have spoken to my Lord [with these lips]?” He said: “Then [I will take your soul] from your hands.” He said: “How, when I have carried the Torah with them?” He said: “Then from your feet.” He said: “How, when I have walked upon Mount Sinai with them?” He said: “Then from your eyes.” He said: “How, while I still look to my Lord with continuous hope?” He said: “Then from your ears.” He said: “How, when I have heard the words of my Lord with them?” So, Allah revealed to the Angel of Death, instructing him not to take his soul until he himself wanted death. And the Angel of Death left him and allowed Musa عليه السلام to remain as long as Allah wanted after that. And he called Yusha` b. Nun, deputed him, and ordered him to guard his role, and recommended that he deputes someone after him who can take charge of the role. And Musa عليه السلام went away from his community, and in his seclusion, he passed by a man who was digging a grave. So, he asked him: “Can I watch you dig this grave?” So, the man said to him: “Of course”. So, he watched him until he dug the grave. Then, Musa b. `Imran lay down in it so that he may see how it was, then the cover was unveiled for him and he saw his place in Paradise. So, he said: “O my Lord! Let me be passed to you.” So, the Angel of Death took his soul in his place, buried him in the grave, and threw the dust onto him. The one who dug the grave was an angel in a human form, and that was in the wilderness. Then a caller called in the heavens, “Musa, the one whom Allah has spoken to, has died. So, which person does not die?” So, my father narrated to me from my grandfather from his father عليه السلام that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم was asked about the grave of Musa b. `Imran عليه السلام – where is it? So, he said: It is at the great path, at the red dune.
