When Rama’s time of death was at hand, Hanuman barred Yama (the god of death) from claiming him.

There is a story in Padma Puranam which describe this event. Image
Yamraj tried many times but was unable to reach Ram and take away his life because Hanuman guarded Ram's life. Ram understood the problem Yamraj was facing and decided to trick Hanuman.

Lord Ram dropped his ring. The ring fell into a crack in the floor. Image
Ram then asked Hanuman to go and fetch the ring. Hanuman could change his large body into as small as a fly. So he jumped into crack. He followed the crack until he reached patal-loka.

When he reached patal-loka he was greeted by king of snakes Vasuki. Image
