144. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saleh, from Yazeed Al-Kunasy, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far  having said that; ‘The Rasool Allah ﷺ had stayed at one man’s house in Al-Taef before the Islamic era. He had honoured him ﷺ. So when Allah (azwj) Sent Muhammad ﷺ to the people, it was said to the man, ‘Do you know the one whom Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Sent to the people?’ He said, ‘No’. They said, ‘He ﷺ is Muhammad Bin Abdullah ﷺ, the orphan of Abu Talib , and he ﷺ is the one whom stayed with you at Al-Taef on such and such a day. You had honoured him ﷺ’. Imam  said: ‘The man went to the Rasool Allah ﷺ. He greeted him ﷺ, then said to him ﷺ, ‘Do you ﷺ recognise me, O Rasool Allah ﷺ?’ He ﷺ said: ‘And who are you?’ He said, ‘I am the lord of the house where you ﷺ stayed in at Al-Taef during the pre-Islamic period on such and such a day. I honoured you ﷺ’. The Rasool Allah ﷺ said to him: ‘Welcome to you. Ask for your need’. So he said, ‘I ask you ﷺ for a hundred sheep along with its shepherd’. So the Rasool Allah ﷺ ordered for him what he had asked for, then said to his ﷺ companions: ‘What was it with this man that he did not ask me ﷺ what the elderly woman of the Children of Israel asked to Musa ?’ They said, ‘And what did the elderly woman of the Children of Israel ask to Musa ?’ So he ﷺ said: ‘Allah (azwj) Revealed unto Musa  that: “Carry the bones of Yusuf  from Egypt, before you  leave from it, to the Holy land in Syria”. Musa  asked about the grave of Yusuf . An old man came up and said, ‘If there is anyone who would recognise his  grave it would be such and such a woman. So Musa  sent for her. When she came, he  said: ‘Do you recognise the place of the grave of Yusuf ?’ She said, ‘Yes’. Point it out to me  and you can have whatever you ask for’. She said, ‘I will not point it out to you except under my command’. He  said: ‘For you is the Paradise’. She said, ‘No, except by my command on you ’. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto Musa : “It is not a great thing to you  for it to be by her command”. So Musa  said to her: ‘For you is the command’. She said, ‘My command is that I should be with you , in your  level which you  would be upon, on the Day of Judgement, in the Paradise’. So the Rasool Allah ﷺ said: ‘What was it with this (man) that he did not ask me ﷺ for what the elderly woman of the Children of Israel asked for?’
