Hadith of Musa, 'Alayhim al-Salam — Hadith 1

8. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Amro Bin Usman, from Ali Bin Isa, from an unbroken chain. He (asws) said: ‘ (Prophet) Musa (as) was whispering (Munajaat) to Allah (azwj) Blessed and High. He (azwj) Said in His (azwj) Whispering: ‘O Musa (as)! Do not have long hopes regarding the world. That would harden your (as) heart, and the hard-hearted one is remote from Me (azwj). O Musa (as)! Turn yourself (as) (to obedience) for the sake of My (azwj) Pleasure, for if My (azwj) Pleasure is obeyed, so I (azwj) am not disobeyed.

And from after him (saww), about the owner of the red camel, the food, and pure, the purified. His (saww) example in your (as) Book is that he (saww) is a Believer, dominant over all the Books, and that he (saww) is the bowing one, the prostrating one, a seeker, a Monk, his (saww) brothers will be the poor, and his (saww) helpers will be another people, and there will
