Musnad Ahmad Hadith 8301

Abdullah bin Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I stayed in the company of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) in Madinah Munawwarah for a year. One day, when we were near the chamber of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), he said to me: I have seen such times upon myself that we had no other clothes except torn and old sheets, and many days would pass over us when we did not even get enough food to straighten our backs, to the extent that we would tie stones to our bellies so that our backs could be straightened by that. One day, the Prophet (ﷺ) distributed some dates among us, and each of us received seven dates, among which there was one unripe date. I did not even wish to get a good date in its place. I asked, why? He replied: I have difficulty in chewing. Then he 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 asked: What kind of stone of Musa (peace be upon him)? He said: Once, the Children of Israel said extremely indecent things about the private parts of Musa (peace be upon him). One day, Musa (peace be upon him) took off his clothes to bathe and placed them on a stone. The stone ran away with his clothes. Musa (peace be upon him) ran after it, saying: O stone, give me my clothes! O stone, give me my clothes! until the stone stopped near the Children of Israel. They saw that Musa (peace be upon him) was perfectly healthy and his physique was extremely good. Musa (peace be upon him), in anger, struck the stone three times. By the One in whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), if I could have seen it, I would have seen the marks of Musa’s (peace be upon him) strikes on it.
