عن ابي هريرة رضي الله عنه ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال ((إن بني إسرائيل كانوا يغتسلون عراة)) وفي رواية ((ينظر بعضهم إلى سوءة بعض)) ((وكان نبي الله موسى عليه السلام منه الحياء والستر وكان يتستر إذا اغتسل فطعنوا فيه بعورة)) وفي رواية ((فقالوا والله ما يمنع موسى ان يغتسل معنا إلا انه آدر)) ((قال فبينما نبي الله يغتسل يوما وضع ثيابه على صخرة فانطلقت الصخرة بثيابه فاتبعها نبي الله ضربا بعصاه وهو يقول ثوبي يا حجر ثوبي يا حجر حتى انتهى بها إلى ملإ من بني إسرائيل وتوسطهم فقامت اي الصخرة واخذ نبي الله ثيابه فنظروا فإذا احسن الناس خلقا واعدلهم صورة فقالت بنو إسرائيل قاتل الله افاكي بني إسرائيل فكانت براءته التي براه الله عز وجل بها))
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, the condition of the Children of Israel was such that they used to bathe naked and would look at each other's private parts, whereas Allah's Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) felt modesty and shyness regarding this, so he would bathe in seclusion. But because of this, the Children of Israel taunted him about his private parts. In one narration, it is mentioned: They said, "By Allah! The only thing preventing Musa from bathing with us is that his testicles are swollen." So one day, Allah's Prophet was bathing and had placed his clothes on a stone, but it happened that the stone started moving along with the clothes. Musa (peace be upon him) followed it, struck it with his staff, and called out: "O stone! My clothes, O stone! My clothes!" But meanwhile, the stone reached a group of the Children of Israel and stopped among them. Allah's Prophet took his clothes and put them on. When they saw Musa (peace be upon him), they found him to be the most beautiful in creation and the most well-proportioned in appearance. After that, the Children of Israel said: "May Allah destroy those among the Children of Israel who slandered." Thus, this was the exoneration through which Allah Almighty cleared Musa (peace be upon him) of what they accused him of.

ومن طريق ثان عن عبد الله بن شقيق قال قال لي ابو هريرة رضي الله عنه من اين اقبلت قلت من الشام قال فقال لي هل رايت حجر موسى عليه السلام قلت وما حجر موسى قال إن بني إسرائيل قالوا لموسى قولا تحت ثيابه في مذاكيره قال فوضع ثيابه على صخرة وهو يغتسل قال فسعت بثيابه قال فتبعها في اثرها وهو يقول يا حجر الق ثيابي حتى اتت به على بني إسرائيل فراوا سويا حسن الخلق فلجبه ثلاث لجبات فوالذي نفس ابي هريرة بيده لو كنت نظرت لرايت لجبات موسى فيه
(Second chain) Abdullah bin Shaqiq says: Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: Where have you come from? I said: From Syria. He said: Have you seen the stone of Musa (peace be upon him)? I said: What is meant by the stone of Musa (peace be upon him)? He said: The Children of Israel said something about Musa (peace be upon him) being defective in his private parts. One day, he placed his clothes on a rock and began to bathe, but it happened that the rock ran off with his clothes. He chased after it and said: O stone! Give me my clothes! But the stone reached the Children of Israel, and they saw that he was perfectly sound and beautifully created. Then Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) struck that stone three times with his staff. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Him in whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah! If I were to find that stone, I would see the marks of Musa’s (peace be upon him) strikes on it.
