The Islamic prophet MuhamMad said that prophetsโ bodies do not decay and remain intact until the Day of Judgment. However, he also said that Moses got lost because he did not know that he was supposed to carry prophet Josephโs bones. Moses then dug up the bones, and they emitted a dazzling light that showed the correct route out of Egypt.
We all know Joseph is a prophet in Islam, but why is his body not intact?
Narrated Abi Musa al-Ash'ari:
A Bedouin came to the Prophet, and he honored him. He said, "Come forward." Then he came. Then the Prophet said, "Ask your favor." He said, "A camel to ride and goats for my parents to milk." So the Prophet said, "Are you unable to be like an old woman of the Israelites?" He said, "When Moses walked with the Israelites from Egypt, they lost their way, so he asked, 'What is happening?' Their scholars answered, 'When Joseph was about to die, he took from us a promise under Allah that we not leave Egypt without taking his bones with us.' So he said, 'Who knows where his grave is?' They said, 'An old woman from the Israelites.' So he sent for her and said, 'Show me the grave of Joseph." She said, 'Not until you give me my due.' He said, 'What is your due?' She said, 'That I shall be with you in Paradise.' He loathed to give that to her. Then Allah inspired him, 'Indeed, give her due to her.' So she took them to a lake, a place of stagnant water, and she said, 'Drain away this water.' They did. She said, 'Dig and extract Joseph's bones.' And when they moved them to the ground, the route shone like daylight."
