Azami 8432

Muslim narrated it in the Book of Virtues (339:156) from Yahya bin Habib Harithi, who said, Yazid bin Zuray told us, who said, Khalid Haddan told us, from Abdullah bin Shaqiq, who said, Abu Hurairah reported to us, and he mentioned it. This is how he mentioned it as a stopped narration, but it is actually a raised one, as previously explained. As for his saying "Adar," it means having large testicles.As for what was narrated from Anas bin Malik, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Musa bin Imran, whenever he wanted to enter the water, would not take off his garment until he had covered his private area in the water," this is daif. Ahmad narrated it (13764) from Ubaydullah bin Muhammad Taymi, who said, Hammad bin Salama told us, from Ali bin Zayd, from Anas bin Malik, and he mentioned it. Its chain contains Ali bin Zayd bin Jadan, who is daif by the agreement of the scholars.There is nothing in this hadith that contradicts the infallibility of the prophets, for when Musa came out of the bath to put on his clothes, there was no one there to look at his private area. Rather, Allah wanted to clear him of what some of the Children of Israil had said about him, so the stone ran off with his garment, and he ran after it to retrieve his garment and put it on, until he reached a gathering of the Children of Israil, who saw him and found him to be the most beautiful and finest of men. So where is the contradiction with the infallibility of the prophets in this? For Musa did not intend to come out naked in front of people.As for the claim of one who says that perhaps some of the narrators erred in relating this story, if their intention is that some of them lied about the Prophet ﷺ, then this is a serious matter, for its narrator is Abu Hurairah , the great transmitter of Islam and one of the pillars of the religion, and attributing lying to him casts doubt on all of his narrations. And if we say instead that it was his students who lied about him, then these students are among the well known trustworthy narrators who transmitted to us the Book of our Lord and the sunnah of our Prophet, and attributing lying to them casts doubt on the Quran and the sunnah as well.If it is said that some of them fell into error, then whoever says this should be asked for proof of it, since error is not established by mere conjecture. For if this door were opened, no one would be safe from it.
