Running from Death

It is related that a young, pious man from the Children of Israel used to sit with Prophet Sulaiman (may the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) and attend his gatherings.

During one of these sessions, the Angel of Death entered the gathering. Upon seeing the angel, the young man's face turned yellow and he trembled with fear and he said, "O Prophet of Allah, I am afraid of this man, so order the wind to take me to the people of India."

Prophet Sulaiman (may the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) did so. Shortly afterwards, the Angel of Death came to Prophet Sulaiman (may the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) in amazement.

Prophet Sulaiman (may the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) asked the Angel of Death why he was so astonished? then Angel of death replied that he had been ordered that day to take the soul of a young man that was in Prophet Sulaiman's (may the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) company, but that it was to be taken while he was in the land of India.
The Angel of Death continued to explain that he was surprised to find him in Prophet Sulaiman's (may the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) gathering though his soul was to be taken in India.

Prophet Sulaiman (may the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) explained that upon seeing the Angel of Death, the young man became disturbed and wanted the wind to carry him away to India.
