The angel of death was sent to Musa. Peace be upon him, and when he came to him, he slapped him and put his eye out he went back to his Lord and said: 'Go back to him and tell him to put his hand on the back of a bull, and of every hair that his hand covers he will have one year.' He said: 'O Lord, then what?' He said; 'Death.' He said: 'Let me go now.' And he (Musa) asked his Lord to bring him within a stone's throw of the Holy Land, the distance of a stone's throw. The Messenger of Allah said: 'If I where there, I would show you his grave, beside the road beneath a red dune.'

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Muhammad bin 'Abdullah bin Yazid dia berkata; bapakku telah menceritakan kepada kami dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Warqa' dari Syu'bah dari Muhammad bin Ziyad dari Abu Hurairah dia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: Berpuasalah kalian karena melihat (hilal) dan berbukalah kalian karena melihatnya pula. Jika -hilal- itu tertutup dari pandangan kalian maka genapkanlah menjadi tiga puluh hari.
