أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الرِّفَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ
أَتَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَعْرَابِيًّا فَأَكْرَمَهُ فقَالَ لَهُ «ائْتِنَا» فَأَتَاهُ فقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «سَلْ حَاجَتَكَ» قَالَ نَاقَةٌ نَرْكَبُهَا وَأَعْنُزٌ يَحْلِبُهَا أَهْلِي فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَعَجَزْتُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مِثْلَ عَجُوزِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ»؟ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا عَجُوزُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَالَ «إِنَّ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لَمَّا سَارَ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ ضَلُّوا الطَّرِيقَ فقَالَ مَا هَذَا؟ فقَالَ عُلَمَاؤُهُمْ إِنَّ يُوسُفَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ أَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا مَوْثِقًا مِنَ اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا نَخْرُجَ مِنْ مِصْرَ حَتَّى نَنْقُلَ عِظَامَهُ مَعَنَا قَالَ فَمَنْ يَعْلَمُ مَوْضِعَ قَبْرِهِ؟ قَالَ عَجُوزٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا فَأَتَتْهُ فقَالَ دُلِّينِي عَلَى قَبْرِ يُوسُفَ قَالَتْ حَتَّى تُعْطِيَنِي حُكْمِي قَالَ وَمَا حُكْمُكِ؟ قَالَتْ أَكُونُ مَعَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَكَرِهَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا ذَلِكَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ أَعْطِهَا حُكْمَهَا فَانْطَلَقَتْ بِهِمْ إِلَى بُحَيْرَةٍ مَوْضِعِ مُسْتَنْقَعِ مَاءٍ فَقَالَتْ أَنْضِبُوا هَذَا الْمَاءَ فَأَنْضَبُوهُ فَقَالَتْ احْتَفِرُوا فَاحْتَفَرُوا فَاسْتَخْرَجُوا عِظَامَ يُوسُفَ فَلَمَّا أَقَلُّوهَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَإِذَا الطَّرِيقُ مِثْلُ ضَوْءِ النَّهَارِ»

✧ A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and he honored him. He said to him: 'Come to us.' So he came to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'Ask for your need.' He said: A she-camel that we ride, and goats that my family can milk. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Have you become unable to be like the old woman of the Children of Israel?' They said: O Messenger of Allah, who is the old woman of the Children of Israel? He said: 'When Moses ﷺ traveled with the Children of Israel from Egypt, they lost the way. He said: What is this? Their scholars said: When death came to Joseph ﷺ, he took a covenant from us by Allah that we would not leave Egypt until we carry his bones with us. He said: Who knows the location of his grave? They said: An old woman of the Children of Israel. So he sent for her and she came to him. He said: Guide me to the grave of Joseph. She said: Not until you grant me my request. He said: What is your request? She said: To be with you in Paradise. He disliked granting her that, so Allah revealed to him: Grant her her request. She went with them to a lake, a place where water gathers. She said: Drain this water. So they drained it. She said: Dig. So they dug and extracted the bones of Joseph. When they lifted them to the land, behold, the road was like the light of day.'
