والمتتبع لنصوص الوحي الشريف ، يرى كيف أن هذا الدين القويم يربى في قلوبأتباعة تلك الهمم لتصل بهم لعالي القمم ومعالي القيم ، فإذا سألتم الله الجنة ،فاسألوه الفردوس الأعلى ! فهل تأملت هذا الدرس ؟ وربيت به النفس ؟فعن أبي موسىـ رضي الله عنه ـ قال : أتى النبي ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أعرابياً فأكرمه ، فقالله : " ائتنا " ، فأتاه ، فقال له رسول الله ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم :" سل حاجتك " . قال : ناقة نركبها ، وأعنز يحلبها أهلي ، فقال رسول الله ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم:" أعجزتم أن تكونوا مثل عجوز بني إسرائيل ؟! "
قالوا : يا رسول الله ! وما عجوزبني إسرائيل ؟ قال :" إنَّ موسى ـ عليه السلام ـ لما سارَ ببني إسرائيل من مصر ؛ضَلّوا الطريق ، فقال : ما هذا ؟ فقال علماؤهم : إنَّ يوسفَ ـ عليه السلام ـ لمّاحضره الموتُ ؛ أخذ علينا موثقاً من الله ، أن لا نخرجَ من مصر حتّى ننقلَ عظامَهمعنا ـ أي بدنه ، وهو من باب إطلاق الجزء ويراد به الكل ، فالأنبياء لا تأكل الأرضأجسادهم كما صح بذلك الخبر عن خير البشر ـ قال : فمن يعلمُ موضع قبره ؟ قال : عجوزمن بني إسرائيل ، فبعث إليها ، فقال : دلَّيني على قبر يوسفَ ، قالت : حتى تعطينيحُكمي . قال : وما حكمكِ ؟ قالت : أكونُ معك في الجنة ، فكره أن يعطيها ذلك ، فأوحىاللهُ إليه أن أعطها حكمَها ، فانطلقت بهم إلى بحيرة موضع مستنقعِ ما ، فقالت : انضبوا هذا الماء ، فأنضبوه ، فقالت : احفروا ، فحفروا ، فاستخرجوا عظامَ يوسف ،فلما أقلّوه إلى الأرض ؛ فإذا الطريقُ مثل ضوء النهار "

From Abu Burdah: from Abu Musa who said: ‘The Prophet (sallalhu `alayhi wa sallam) came to a bedouin who treated him (or whose hospitality was) generously, so he said to him: ‘Come visit us (sometime so we will also treat you generously) .’ So (later) he came to him, Allaah’s Messenger (sallalhu `alayhi wa sallam) said [and in one narration: Allaah's Messenger (sallalhu `alayhi wa sallam) stopped off as a guest with a bedouin, and he treated him generously. So Allaah's Messenger (sallalhu `alayhi wa sallam) said to him: 'We will remember this, so come to us.' ] So later the bedouin came to him, and Allaah's Messenger (sallalhu `alayhi wa sallam) said:
'Ask for whatever you need.' so he said: 'A she-camel with its saddle, and some goats which my wife/family can milk.' So Allaah's Messenger said: 'Are you unable to be like the old woman of the Banu Israel?' So his Companions said: 'O Messenger of Allaah! And what does 'the old woman of the Banu Israel' refer to?'
He said: 'When Musa left Egypt at night with the Banu Israel they lost their way. So he said: 'What is wrong?' So their learned men (scholars of Banu Israel) said:['We shall tell you.] When death came to Yusuf (`alayhis salaam) he took a solemn agreement from us in Allaah’s Name that we would not depart from Egypt until we carried his body along with us.’ He said: ‘Then who knows the place of his grave?’ They said: None of us knows where the grave of Yusuf is, except for an old woman of the Banu Israel. So he sent for her, and she came to him.
He said: ‘Guide me to the grave of Yusuf.’ She said: ['No, by Allaah! I will not do so] until you grant me my reward.’ He said: ‘And what reward do you want?’ She said: ‘That I should be with you in Paradise.’ So he disliked to grant her that, but Allaah revealed to him: ‘Grant her, her due reward. So she went with them to a pond: a place where water gathered, and she said: ‘Drain this water away.’ So they drained it (and in another narration it says so they drained it and then the ground became visible to which). She said: ‘Dig here and extract the body of Yusuf.’ So when they lifted it out and placed it upon the ground the path suddenly became bright like the light of day.
[Ref: Silsilah as-saheeha 3/477 Hadeeth 313 has graded this saheeh Ligayrihi. He has said that this is also in Musnad Abu Ya'la (3/441) and al-Hakim (2/404-405 and 571-572) through three chains from Yunus ibn Abi Ishaaq. Note that some scholars disagree with this grading and on the text as well considering the hadeeth that a prophet is burried the place he dies . Nevertheless i have relied upon what shaykh Sifat Alam from Kuwait has explained]
