Overview
Musa, a prophet among the prophets of the Children of Israel. Al-Bukhari relates reports about him in his Sahih, among them the story of the stone, al-Khidr and the Night Journey.
The story of the stone
In al-Bukhari the stone fled with Musa's garment, and he followed it until God cleared him before his people. 1
With al-Khidr
Al-Bukhari relates the story in full on the authority of Ibn Abbas, including his refutation of those who claimed that the companion of al-Khidr was not Musa. 2
The Night Journey
The Prophet saw him on the Night Journey as a tall man with straight hair. He returned to him, and Musa asked him to get the obligations reduced, until they came down to five. 3
