[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once encountered a Bedouin and treated him with respect. He said to him, "O Bedouin, ask for what you need." The Bedouin replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I want a female camel with her saddle, as my family relies on her for milk." The Prophet ﷺ repeated this request twice, then he said to him, "Are you unable to be like the old man of the Children of Israel?" His companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who is the old man of the Children of Israel?" He replied, "When Moses wanted to escort the Children of Israel, they took with them the oath that Allah had taken from them, to not leave Egypt until they took Joseph's bones with them. Moses asked them, 'Who among you knows where Joseph's grave is?' They replied, 'None of us knows except the old man of the Children of Israel.' So he sent for him and said, 'Guide me to Joseph's grave.' The old man replied, 'I will not do so unless you promise me a place in Paradise.' The Messenger of Allah disliked what she said, so it was said to him, 'Grant her her request.' He granted her request and she brought a lake and said, 'Let this water drain.' When it drained, she said, 'Dig here.' When they dug, they found the bones of Joseph, and as they brought them up from the ground, the path was lit up like daylight."
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
