[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  

[Machine] It was narrated that Abu Burdah bin Abi Musa al-Ash'ari said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed with a Bedouin, so he honored him and said to him: "Give us some milk." So the Bedouin came to him and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "What is your need?" He said: "My camel has exhausted me (with its milk) and my family is milking it." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Is this (camel) unable to produce milk like the old she-camel of the Children of Israel?" So his companions said to him: "O Messenger of Allah! Do the Children of Israel have an old she-camel?" He said: "When Musa (Moses) wanted to lead the Children of Israel out (of Egypt), he lost his way. So he said to the Children of Israel: 'What is this?' They said: 'The scholars of the Children of Israel do not know the location of his grave, except an old woman of the Children of Israel.' So Musa sent for her and he said to her: 'Guide us to the grave of Yusuf (Joseph).' She said: 'No, by Allah, not until you grant me my wish.' He said: 'What is your wish?' She said: 'My wish is to be with you in Paradise.' It was as if he disliked that. So it was said to him: 'Grant her wish.' So he granted her wish and they went with her to a pond of stagnant water. She said to them: 'Dry up this water.' So when they dried it up, she said to them: 'Dig.' So they dug and they took out the bones of Yusuf. When they finished, the path was illuminated like broad daylight." [Al-Shu'ara' 52]

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ encountered a Bedouin and honored him. He said to the Bedouin, "Come to us." So he went to him and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Ask for what you need." The Bedouin said, "I want a camel to ride and a she-camel to milk for my family." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Couldn't you be like an old woman from the Children of Israel?" They asked, "Who is the old woman from the Children of Israel?" He said, "When Moses ﷺ was leading the Children of Israel out of Egypt, they lost their way. Moses asked, 'What is this?' Their scholars said, 'When the death of Joseph ﷺ approached, he made us swear an oath by Allah that we would not leave Egypt without taking his bones with us.' Moses then asked, 'Who knows the location of his grave?' They said, 'An old woman from the Children of Israel knows.' So he sent for her and she came to him. He asked her to show him the grave of Joseph. She replied, 'I will only do so if you promise that I will be with you in Paradise.' Moses disliked giving her that promise, so Allah revealed to him to fulfill her request. They then set out with her until they reached a lake of stagnant water. She said, 'Dry up this water.' So they dried it up. She then said, 'Dig a hole.' So they dug a hole and extracted the bones of Joseph. When they placed the bones on the ground, suddenly the road became bright as daylight."  

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»  

"إن موسى حين أَراد أن يُسْرِى بِبَنى إسرائيلَّ ضلَّ عن الطريقِ، فقال: ما هذا؟ فقال له علماءُ بنى إِسرائيلَ: إن يوسف حين حضره الموت، أَخذ علينا موثقا من اللَّه أَلَّا نخرجَ من مصرَ حتى ننقل عظامَه معنا، فقال لهم موسى: أَيُّكم يدرى أَين قبُر يوسفَ؟ فقالوا: ما أَحدٌ يعلمه إلا عجوزٌ، فأَرسل إِليها، فقال: دُلِّينى على قبر يوسف فقالت: واللَّه لا أفعلُ حتى تعطيِنى حكمى، فقال لها: وما حكمُك؟ قالت: أَكون معك في الجنة، فكأَنما ثقل عليه، فقيل له: أَعطها حكمها، فأَعطاها حكمها، فانطلقت إلى بحيرةِ مستنقع ماءٍ، فقالت: أَنضبوا هذا الماءَ، فلما أَنضبوه، قالت: احفروا ههنا، فلما حفروا استخرجوا عظامَ يوسفَ، فلما أَقلوها من الأَرضِ إذا الطريق مثل ضوءِ النهار" .
