The Story Of The Cow

There was a man from among Bani Isra’il who was impotent, he had substantial wealth, and only a nephew who would inherit from him. So, his nephew slayed him and moved his body at night, placing it at the doorstep of a certain man. The next morning, the nephew cried out for revenge, and the people took up arms and almost fought each other. The wise men among them said, `Why would you harm each other, while the Messenger of Allah is still among you?' So they went to Musa and mentioned the matter to him.
