He asked: ‘‘Who are you?”
He said: “I am that being who is not afraid of the kings even and whom none can refuse admittance.”
He said: “By God! You are the angel of death. You are welcome. You have brought the commandment of the Almighty God.”
After saying this, he lay down by covering himself with a sheet, and the angel of death extracted his soul.
It is a tradition from Tibrani on the authority of Hussain (may God be pleased with him) that Gabriel (Arch angel) visited Rasululah during the days of his last illness, and asked: How are you? The Holy Rasululah
told him that he was seriously ill. In the meanwhile, the angel of death knocked at the door and asked for permission to come in.
Gabrielعلیہ السلام said: “O! Rasululah That is the angel of death (Izra’il). He seeks your permission to come in. Before this, he never asked for such permission and would never ask after this.” Rasululah
said; ‘“‘Let him come in.’* Gabrielعلیہ السلام permitted him. The angel of death appeared and stood up before Rasululah
and said:
"The Almighty God hath sent me to you with His explicit instruction to do as you like me to. So, if you allow me to separate the soul from your body, I will do this otherwise not.’” Rasululah asked him: “Are you authorized to do so.’’ He replied in the affirmative with the remarks: “OQ Messenger of Allah, Allah hath given me such a command.” Then Gabrielعلیہ السلام told Rasululah
: ‘God is very eager to meet you.”” Thereupon, Rasululah
said: “O angel of death !| Comply with the order of Allah.” Upon this, the angel of death seized the breath of Rasululah
.
