Their religion is, however, one and there is no Apostle between us (between I and Jesus Christ)

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) never told a lie but only thrice: two times for the sake of Allah (for example, his words): "I am sick," and his words: "But it was the big one amongst them which has done that" and because of Sara (his wife). He had come in a land inhabited by haughty and cruel men along with Sara. She was very good-looking amongst the people, so he said to her: If these people were to know that you are my wife they would snatch you away from me, so if they ask you tell them that you are my sister and in fact you are my sister in Islam, and I do not know of any other Muslim in this land besides I and you. And when they entered that land the tyrants came to see her and said to him (the king): 'There comes to your land a woman, whom you alone deserve to possess', so he (the king) sent someone (towards her) and she was brought to him, and Ibrahim (peace be upon him) stood in prayer. When she visited him (the tyrant king came) he could help but stretch his hand towards her and his hand was tied up. He said: 'Supplicate to Allah so that He may release my hand and I will do no harm to you.' She did that and the man repeated (the same highhandedness) and his hand was again tied up more tightly than on the first occasion. He said the same thing to her again, and she again did that (supplicated), but he repeated (the same highhandedness and his hands were tied up more tightly than on the previous occasion). He then again said: 'Supplicate your Lord so that He may set my hand free; by Allah I shall do no harm to you.' She did and his hand was freed. Then he called the person who had brought her and said to him: 'You have brought to me the satan and you have not brought to me a human being, so turn them out from my land,' and he gave Hajar as a gift to her. She returned (along with Hajar) and when Ibrahim (peace be upon him) saw her, he said: 'How have you returned?' She said: 'With full safety (have I returned). Allah held the hand of that debauch and he gave me a maid-servant.' Abu Huraira said: 'O sons of the rain of the sky, she is your mother

وحدثني ابو الطاهر، اخبرنا عبد الله بن وهب، اخبرني جرير بن حازم، عن ايوب السختياني، عن محمد بن سيرين، عن ابي هريرة، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " لم يكذب ابراهيم النبي عليه السلام قط الا ثلاث كذبات ثنتين في ذات الله قوله { اني سقيم} . وقوله { بل فعله كبيرهم هذا} وواحدة في شان سارة فانه قدم ارض جبار ومعه سارة وكانت احسن الناس فقال لها ان هذا الجبار ان يعلم انك امراتي يغلبني عليك فان سالك فاخبريه انك اختي فانك اختي في الاسلام فاني لا اعلم في الارض مسلما غيري وغيرك فلما دخل ارضه راها بعض اهل الجبار اتاه فقال له لقد قدم ارضك امراة لا ينبغي لها ان تكون الا لك . فارسل اليها فاتي بها فقام ابراهيم عليه السلام الى الصلاة فلما دخلت عليه لم يتمالك ان بسط يده اليها فقبضت يده قبضة شديدة فقال لها ادعي الله ان يطلق يدي ولا اضرك . ففعلت فعاد فقبضت اشد من القبضة الاولى فقال لها مثل ذلك ففعلت فعاد فقبضت اشد من القبضتين الاوليين فقال ادعي الله ان يطلق يدي فلك الله ان لا اضرك . ففعلت واطلقت يده ودعا الذي جاء بها فقال له انك انما اتيتني بشيطان ولم تاتني بانسان فاخرجها من ارضي واعطها هاجر . قال فاقبلت تمشي فلما راها ابراهيم عليه السلام انصرف فقال لها مهيم قالت خيرا كف الله يد الفاجر واخدم خادما . قال ابو هريرة فتلك امكم يا بني ماء السماء

Hammam b. Munabbih reported that Abu Huraira reported many ahadith from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one, of them speaks that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is reported to have said:Banu Isra'il used to take bath (together) naked and thus saw private parts of one another, but Moses (peace be upon him) used to take bath alone (in privacy), and they said: By Allah, nothing prevents Moses to take bath along with us; but scrotal hernia. One day when he (Moses) was taking bath (alone) he placed his clothes upon a stone, but the stone began to move along with his clothes. Moses raced after it saying: My garment, stone; until (some of the people) of Banu Isra'il looked at the private parts of Moses, and they said: By Allah, there is no trouble with Moses. The stone stopped after he (Moses) had been seen. He took hold of his garments and struck the stone. Abu Huraira said: I swear by Allah that there were six or seven scars on the stone because of the striking of stone by Moses (peace be upon him)

Abu Huraira reported that Moses was a modest person. He was never seen naked and Banu Isra'iI said:(He was afraid to expose his private part) because he had been suffering from scrotal hernia. He (one day) took bath in water and placed his garments upon a stone. The stone began to move on quickly. He followed that and struck it with the help of a stone (saying): O stone, my garment; O stone, my garments, O stone; until it stopped near the big gathering of Isrii'll, and this verse was revealed (pertaining to the incident):" O you who believe, be not Iike those who maligned Moses, but Allah cleared him of what they said, and he was worthy of regard with Allah" (xxxiii)

وحدثنا يحيى بن حبيب الحارثي، حدثنا يزيد بن زريع، حدثنا خالد الحذاء، عن عبد الله بن شقيق، قال انبانا ابو هريرة، قال كان موسى عليه السلام رجلا حييا - قال - فكان لا يرى متجردا - قال - فقال بنو اسراييل انه ادر - قال - فاغتسل عند مويه فوضع ثوبه على حجر فانطلق الحجر يسعى واتبعه بعصاه يضربه ثوبي حجر ثوبي حجر . حتى وقف على ملا من بني اسراييل ونزلت { يا ايها الذين امنوا لا تكونوا كالذين اذوا موسى فبراه الله مما قالوا وكان عند الله وجيها}

He (the Angel of Death) came back to the Lord and said:You sent me to a servant. who did not want to die. Allah restored his eye to its proper place (and revived his eyesight), and then said: Go back to him and tell him that if he wants life he must place his hand on the back of an ox, and he would be granted as many years of life as the number of hair covered by his hand. He (Moses) said: My Lord what would happen then He said: Then you must court death. He said: Let it be now. And he supplicated Allah to bring him close to the sacred land. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If I were there, I would have shown you his grave beside the road at the red mound

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said that the Angel of Death came to Moses and said:Respond (to the call) of Allah (i. e. be prepared for death). Moses (peace be upon him) gave a blow at the eye of the Angel of Death and knocked it out. The Angel went back to Allah (the Exalted) and said: You sent me to your servant who does not like to die and he knocked out my eye. Allah restored his eye to its proper place (and revived his eyesight) and said: Go to My servant and say: Do you want life? And in case you want life, keep your hand on the body of the ox and you would live such number of years as the (number of) hair your hand covers. He (Moses) said: What, then? He said: Then you would die, whereupon he (Moses) said: Then why not now? (He then prayed): Allah, cause me to die close to the sacred land. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Had I been near that place I would have shown his grave by the side of the path at the red mound

قال ابو اسحاق حدثنا محمد بن يحيى، حدثنا عبد الرزاق، اخبرنا معمر، بمثل هذا الحديث

Abu Huraira reported:While a Jew was selling goods, he was given something which he did not accept or he did not agree (to accept) that 'Abdul 'Azlz (one of the narrators) is doubtful about it. He (the Jew) said: By Allah, Who chose Moses (peace be upon him) among mankind. A person from the Ansar heard it and gave a blow at his face saying: (You have the audacity) to say: By Him Who chose Moses amongst mankind, whereas Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is living amongst us. The Jew went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Abu'l-Qasim, I am a Dhimmi and (thus need your protection) by a covenant, and added: Such and such person has given a blow upon my face. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Why did you give a blow on his face? He said: Allah's Messenger, this man said: By Him Who chose Moses (peace be upon him) amongst mankind, whereas you are living amongst us. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) became angry and signs of anger could be seen on his face, and then said: Don't make distinction amongst the Prophets of Allah. When the horn will be blown and whatever is in the heavens and the earth would swoon but he whom Allah grants exception, then another horn will be blown and I would be the first amongst those who would recover and Moses (peace be upon him) would be catching hold of the Throne and I do not know whether it is a compensation for that when he swooned on the Day of Tur or he would be resurrected before me and I do not say that anyone is more excellent than Yunus son of Matta (peace he upon him)
