وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الرِّفَاعِيُّ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، ثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ؓ قَالَ:
أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، فَأَكْرَمَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ: « ائْتِنَا ». فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: « سَلْ حَاجَتَكَ ؟ » فَقَالَ: نَاقَةٌ يَرْكَبُهَا، وَأَعْنُزٌ يَحْلُبُهَا أَهْلِي. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « أَعَجَزْتُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مِثْلَ عَجُوزِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ؟ » فَسَأَلُوهُ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: « إِنَّ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ لَمَّا سَارَ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ ضَلُّوا الطَّرِيقَ، فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ عُلَمَاؤُهُمْ: إِنَّ يُوسُفَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ لَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ أَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا مَوْثِقًا مِنَ اللهِ تَعَالَى أَنْ لَا نَخْرُجَ مِنْ مِصْرَ حَتَّى نَنْقُلَ عِظَامَهُ مَعَنَا. قَالَ: فَمَنْ يَعْلَمُ مَوْضِعَ قَبْرِهِ ؟ قَالَ: عَجُوزٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا فَأَتَتْهُ فَقَالَ: دُلِّينِي عَلَى قَبْرِ يُوسُفَ. قَالَتْ: حَتَّى تُعْطِيَنِي حُكْمِي. قَالَ: مَا حُكْمُكِ ؟ قَالَتْ: أَكُونُ مَعَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، فَكَرِهَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا ذَلِكَ، فَأَوْحَى اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ أَنْ أَعْطِهَا حُكْمَهَا. فَانْطَلَقَتْ بِهِمْ إِلَى بُحَيْرَةٍ - مَوْضِعِ مُسْتَنْقَعِ مَاءٍ - فَقَالَتِ: انْضِبُوا هَذَا الْمَاءَ، فَنَضَبُوهُ. فَقَالَتِ: احْتَفِرُوا، فَحَفَرُوا، وَاسْتَخْرَجُوا عِظَامَ يُوسُفَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، فَلَمَّا أَقَلُّوهَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ إِذَا بِطَرِيقٍ مِثْلِ النَّهَارِ

✧ A bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and he honored him. He said to him: 'Come to us.' So he came to him and he said: 'Ask for your need?' He said: 'A she-camel to ride, and some goats for my family to milk.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Are you unable to be like the old woman of the Children of Israel?' They asked him, and he ﷺ said: 'When Musa ﷺ traveled with the Children of Israel from Egypt, they lost their way. He said: What is this? Their scholars said: When Yusuf ﷺ was near death, he took a covenant from us by Allah, Exalted is He, that we would not leave Egypt until we carry his bones with us. He said: Who knows the place 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: Show me the grave of Yusuf. She said: Not until you grant me my request. He said: What is your request? She said: That I be with you in Paradise. He disliked granting her that, so Allah, Exalted is He, revealed to him: Grant her her request. So she went with them to a lake—a place where water collects—and said: Drain this water. So they drained it. She said: Dig. So they dug and brought out the bones of Yusuf ﷺ. When they lifted them to the ground, behold, there was a path like daylight.'
