حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الْفَقِيهُ بِبُخَارَى ثنا صَالِحُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الْأَحْمَسِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَزَلَ بِأَعْرَابِيٍّ فَأَكْرَمَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ «يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ سَلْ حَاجَتَكَ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَاقَةً بِرَحْلِهَا وَأَعْنُزَ يَحْلُبُهَا أَهْلِي قَالَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَعَجَزْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِثْلَ عَجُوزِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا عَجُوزُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ مُوسَى أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسِيرَ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأُضِلَّ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُلَمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ نَحْنُ نُحَدِّثُكَ أَنَّ يُوسُفَ أَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا مَوَاثِيقَ اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا نَخْرُجَ مِنْ مِصْرَ حَتَّى نَنْقُلَ عِظَامَهُ مَعَنَا قَالَ وَأَيُّكُمْ يَدْرِي أَيْنَ قَبْرُ يُوسُفَ؟ قَالُوا مَا تَدْرِي أَيْنَ قَبْرُ يُوسُفَ إِلَّا عَجُوزُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ دُلِّينِي عَلَى قَبْرِ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَتْ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ حَتَّى أَكُونَ مَعَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ وَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا قَالَتْ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَعْطِهَا حُكْمَهَا فَأَعْطَاهَا حُكْمَهَا فَأَتَتْ بُحَيْرَةً فَقَالَتْ أَنْضِبُوا هَذَا الْمَاءَ فَلَمَّا نَضَبُوهُ قَالَتِ احْفِرُوا هَهُنَا فَلَمَّا حَفَرُوا إِذَا عِظَامُ يُوسُفَ فَلَمَّا أَقَلُّوهَا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَإِذَا الطَّرِيقُ مِثْلُ ضَوْءِ النَّهَارِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped at the home of a bedouin, who honored him. He said to him: “O bedouin, ask for your need.” He said: O Messenger of Allah, a she-camel with her saddle and some goats for my family to milk. He said it twice. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: “Are you incapable of being like the old woman of the Children of Israel?” His companions said: O Messenger of Allah, who is the old woman of the Children of Israel? He said: When Musa wanted to travel with the Children of Israel, he lost his way. The scholars of the Children of Israel said to him: We tell you that Yusuf took from us covenants by Allah that we would not leave Egypt until we carried his bones with us. He said: Who among you knows where the grave of Yusuf is? They said: No one knows where the grave of Yusuf is except an old woman of the Children of Israel. So he sent for her and said: Show me the grave of Yusuf. She said: No, by Allah, I will not do it until I am with you in Paradise. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked what she said, but it was said to him: Give her what she asked. So he gave her what she asked. She came to a lake and said: Drain this water. When they drained it, she said: Dig here. When they dug, there were the bones of Yusuf. When they lifted them from the ground, the road became like the light of day.
