Musa (as) 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 (as), but Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, revealed to him, 'You are only granting these on My behalf, so fulfil her request.' So Musa (as) did as She asked. She then guided him to the grave of Yusuf (as), and Musa (as) extracted it from the banks of the Nile in a marble coffin. When he brought it out, the moon rose.
