Salam,
Thanks for reference.
Quote:Now that you have at least two hadiths telling the same story about Moses then it is high time to look at what is it telling you. Time to read it.
So then you believe this story to be true, I assume?
Quote:Here is a sense moral that you really should be concentrating on. Allah, SWT is clearing Mosa, AS from the bad rumours that people have made up about him.
But the story doesn't seem.... a little silly to you? I mean, all these people bathing in an open pool or body of water together and they're all trying to see Moses' private parts?
And why would God, the Creator of heaven and earth, the High and Exalted One care about clearing Moses' name and proving to other human beings how "ENDOWED" Moses was physically?
Wouldn't this action on Allah's part contradict Islamic teachings about modesty, too? Because if we are to believe this story to be true, then Allah is actually the one responsible for exposing Moses' private parts to others.
But the story seems nonsensical to me anyway.
A stone "running" away from a person and a person yelling at it AS IF it can respond and obey???
You really don't think this story is strange?
It sounds more like a fable to me.
