(60): Which Prophet of Allah, blinded the Angel by one eye?
Ans: Prophet Moosa(pbuh).
“The angel of death was sent to
Moses and when he went to him, Moses slapped him severely, spoiling one of his
eyes. The angel went back to his Lord, and said, "You sent me to a slave
who does not want to die." Allah restored his eye and said, "Go back
and tell him (i.e. Moses) to place his hand over the back of an ox, for he will
be allowed to live for a number of years equal to the number of hairs coming under
his hand." (So the angel came to him and told him the same)….”
[Sahi Bukhari Hadith 1339]
Al Nawawi said: "It is also
possible that Allah did not send the angel of death when he wanted to terminate
his life. It might have been only a test. Prophet Musa might have slapped the
man because he was a stranger who got into his house without his consent,
ignoring that he was in fact the angel of death. It is lawful in Sharia to take
out the eye of the person who looks inside your house without your consent. It
is known that the angels came in the form of men to Prophets Ibrahim and Lut
(Peace and blessing be upon them) and they did not recognize them. Prophet
Ibrahim presented them something to eat before they told him who they were.
Prophet Musa also might not have recognized the Angel. But when he come the
second time with his eye in its place Prophet Musa recognized him and submitted
himself to Allah's Will.
To conclude, we say that the Muslim should believe in these Ahadith and the
like, as revelation from Allah The Almighty. If the person's mind and reasoning
are short of making him understand the revealed message, he should know that
the defect is not in the Sharia it is in his own mind and reasoning as Sharia
could include some facts that could not be perceived and fully understood by
the human mind. We ask Allah to guide you to the right path.
Allah knows the best .
