حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ كَانَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَغْتَسِلُونَ عُرَاةً، يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، وَكَانَ مُوسَى يَغْتَسِلُ وَحْدَهُ، فَقَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا يَمْنَعُ مُوسَى أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ مَعَنَا إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ آدَرُ، فَذَهَبَ مَرَّةً يَغْتَسِلُ، فَوَضَعَ ثَوْبَهُ عَلَى حَجَرٍ، فَفَرَّ الْحَجَرُ بِثَوْبِهِ، فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى فِي إِثْرِهِ يَقُولُ ثَوْبِي يَا حَجَرُ. حَتَّى نَظَرَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى مُوسَى، فَقَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا بِمُوسَى مِنْ بَأْسٍ. وَأَخَذَ ثَوْبَهُ، فَطَفِقَ بِالْحَجَرِ ضَرْبًا ‏"‏. فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَنَدَبٌ بِالْحَجَرِ سِتَّةٌ أَوْ سَبْعَةٌ ضَرْبًا بِالْحَجَرِ.

Narrator: Abu Huraira

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

। আবূ হুরায়রা (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিতঃ নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) বলেছেনঃ বনী ইসরাঈলের লোকেরা নগ্ন হয়ে একে অপরকে দেখা অবস্থায় গোসল করতো। কিন্তু মূসা (‘আঃ) একাকী গোসল করতেন। এতে বনী ইসরাঈলের লোকেরা বলাবলি করছিল, আল্লাহর কসম, মূসা (‘আঃ) ‘কোষবৃদ্ধি’ রোগের কারণেই আমাদের সাথে গোসল করেন না। একবার মূসা (‘আঃ) একটা পাথরের উপর কাপড় রেখে গোসল করছিলেন। পাথরটা তাঁর কাপড় নিয়ে পালাতে লাগল। তখন মূসা (‘আঃ) “পাথর! আমার কাপড় দাও,” “পাথর! আমার কাপড় দাও”, বলে পেছনে পেছনে ছুটলেন। এদিকে বাণী ইসরাঈল মূসার দিকে তাকাল। তখন তারা বলল, আল্লাহর কসম মূসার কোন রোগ নেই। মূসা (‘আঃ) পাথর থেকে কাপড় নিয়ে পরলেন এবং পাথরটাকে পিটাতে লাগলেন। আবূ হুরায়রা (রাঃ) বলেন, আল্লাহর কসম, পাথরটিতে ছয় কিংবা সাতটা পিটুনীর দাগ পড়ে গেল।
