278. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "The (people of) Bani Isrāēl used to take bath naked (all together) looking at each other. Prophet Mūsā (Moses) عليه السلام used to take bath alone. They said, 'By Allāh! Nothing prevents Mūsā from taking a bath with us except that he has a scrotal hernia.' So once Mūsā went out to take a bath and put his clothes over a stone and then that stone ran away with his clothes. Mūsā followed that stone saying, 'My clothes, O stone! My clothes, O stone!', till the people of Bānī Isrāēl saw him and said, 'By Allāh, Mūsā has got no defect in his body. Mūsā took his clothes and began to beat the stone.' Abū Hurairah added, "By Allāh! There are still six or seven marks present on the stone from that excessive beating."

278 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " كَانَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَغْتَسِلُونَ عُرَاةً، يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، وَكَانَ مُوسَى صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْتَسِلُ وَحْدَهُ، فَقَالُوا: وَاللَّهِ مَا يَمْنَعُ مُوسَى أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ مَعَنَا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ آدَرُ، فَذَهَبَ مَرَّةً يَغْتَسِلُ، فَوَضَعَ ثَوْبَهُ عَلَى حَجَرٍ، فَفَرَّ الحَجَرُ بِثَوْبِهِ، فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى فِي إِثْرِهِ، يَقُولُ: ثَوْبِي يَا حَجَرُ، حَتَّى نَظَرَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى مُوسَى، فَقَالُوا: وَاللَّهِ مَا بِمُوسَى مِنْ بَأْسٍ، وَأَخَذَ ثَوْبَهُ، فَطَفِقَ بِالحَجَرِ ضَرْبًا " فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَنَدَبٌ بِالحَجَرِ، سِتَّةٌ أَوْ سَبْعَةٌ، ضَرْبًا بِالحَجَرِ
