حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: كَانَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَغْتَسِلُونَ عُرَاةً يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، وَكَانَ مُوسى يَغْتَسِلُ وَحْدَهُ؛ فَقَالُوا وَاللهِ مَا يَمْنَعُ مُوسى أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ مَعَنَا إِلَاّ أَنَّهُ آدَرُ، فَذَهَبَ مَرَّةً يَغْتَسِلُ فَوَضَعَ ثَوْبَهُ عَلَى حَجَرٍ، فَفَرَّ الْحَجَرُ بِثَوْبِهِ، فَخَرَجَ مُوسى فِي إِثْرِهِ يَقُولُ ثَوْبِي يَا حَجَرُ حَتَّى نَظَرَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائيلَ إِلَى مُوسى، فَقَالُوا وَاللهِ مَا بِمُوسى مِنْ بَأْسٍ؛ وَأَخَذَ ثَوْبَهُ وَطَفِقَ بِالْحَجَرِ ضَرْبًافَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: وَاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَنَدَبٌ بِالْحَجَرِ سِتَّةٌ أَوْ سَبْعَةٌ ضَرْبًا بِالْحَجَرِ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The (people of) Banî Isrâel used to take bath naked (all together) looking at each other. The Prophet Mûsa (Moses) عليه السلام used to take bath alone. They said, 'By Allâh! Nothing prevents Mûsa from taking a bath with us except that he has a scrotal hernia.' So, once Mûsa عليه السلام went out to take a bath and put his clothes over a stone and then that stone ran away with his clothes.Mûsa عليه السلام followed that stone saying, 'My clothes, O stone! My clothes, O stone!', till the people of Banî Isrâel saw him and said, 'By Allâh, Mûsa has got no defect in his body. Mûsa عليه السلام took his clothes and began to beat the stone." Abû Huraira added, "By Allâh! There are still six or seven marks present on the stone from the excessive beating." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 277-A, Vol. 1)
