Hadith.594 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq 
said :
Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, revealed to Musa ibn Imran to bring out the bones of Yusuf from Egypt ’, and promised him the rising of the moon.
However, the moon delayed in rising so he inquired about someone who knew its location. He was told of an elderly woman who knew its whereabouts.
He summoned her, and a paralyzed, blind elderly woman was brought before him.
Musa asked: 'Do you know the grave of Yusuf ?'
She replied: 'Yes.'
Musa said: 'Then inform me of its location.'
She said: 'I will not do so unless you grant me certain conditions: to restore my legs so that I may walk, to return my eyesight, to restore my youth, and to make me with you in Paradise.'
This request was burdensome for Musa , but Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, revealed to him,
'You are only granting these on My behalf, so fulfil her request.'
So Musa did as She asked.
She then guided him to the grave of Yusuf , and Musa extracted it from the banks of the Nile in a marble coffin. When he brought it out, the moon rose. He then carried it to Sham (the Levant).
For this reason, the People of the Book carry their dead to Sham."
