حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ شَبُّوَيْهِ ثنا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ ثنا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ

كَانَ صَفِيُّ اللَّهِ مُوسَى قَدْ كَرِهَ الْمَوْتَ وَأَعْظَمَهُ فَلَمَّا كَرِهَهُ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُحَبِّبَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَوْتَ وَيُكَرِّهَ إِلَيْهِ الْحَيَاةَ فَحُوِّلَتِ النُّبُوَّةُ إِلَى يُوشَعَ بْنِ نُونٍ فَكَانَ يَغْدُو إِلَيْهِ وَيَرُوحُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ مُوسَى يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا أَحْدَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ يُوشَعُ بْنُ نُونٍ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَلَمْ أَصْحَبْكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا سَنَةً فَهَلْ كُنْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا أَحْدَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَبْتَدِئُ بِهِ وَتَذْكُرُهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ مُوسَى كَرِهَ الْحَيَاةَ وَأَحَبَّ الْمَوْتَ

✧ The chosen one of Allah, Moses, disliked death and regarded it as great. When he disliked it, Allah willed to make death beloved to him and life hateful to him. Prophethood was transferred to Joshua son of Nun, who used to come to him morning and evening. Moses would say to him: "O Prophet of Allah, what has Allah revealed to you?" Joshua son of Nun would say to him: "O Prophet of Allah, did I not accompany you for such and such years? Did I ever ask you about anything Allah revealed to you until you were the one to begin and mention it?" When Moses saw that, he disliked life and loved death.
