Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, ‘The (people of) Bani Israel used to take bath naked (all together) looking at each
other. The Prophet Moses 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.”
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, “When the Prophet Job (Aiyub) was taking a bath naked,
golden locusts began to fall on him. Job started collecting them in his clothes. His Lord addressed

Your Honor (power)! But I cannot dispense with Your Blessings.’ “
