حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ حَدَّثَنِي سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ إِمْلَاءً عَلَيَّ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قال عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ أَبِي كَتَبْتُهُ
حَتَّى إِنَّ نَوْفًا يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ مُوسَى [ ﷺ ] لَيْسَ بِصَاحِبِ الْخَضِرِ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ: كَذَبَ عَدُوُّ اللهِ ! حَدَّثَنَا أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: قَامَ مُوسَى [عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ] خَطِيبًا فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَسُئِلَ: أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَعْلَمُ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا. فَعَتَبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ، إِذْ لَمْ يَرُدَّ الْعِلْمَ إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ: بَلْ عَبْدٌ لِي عِنْدَ مَجْمَعِ الْبَحْرَيْنِ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْكَ. قَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ، فَكَيْفَ لِي بِهِ؟ قَالَ: خُذْ نُونًا، فَاجْعَلْهُ فِي مِكْتَلٍ، ثُمَّ انْطَلِقْ، فَحَيْثُمَا فَقَدْتَهُ فَهُوَ ثَمَّ. فَانْطَلَقَ مُوسَى وَمَعَهُ فَتَاهُ يَمْشِيَانِ، حَتَّى انْتَهَيَا إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، فَرَقَدَ مُوسَى [عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ] وَاضْطَرَبَ الْحُوتُ فِي الْمِكْتَلِ، فَخَرَجَ فَوَقَعَ فِي الْبَحْرِ، فَأَمْسَكَ اللهُ عَنْهُ جِرْيَةَ الْمَاءِ مِثْلَ الطَّاقِ، وَكَانَ لِلْحُوتِ سَرَبًا. - وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ: فَعَقَدَ الْإِبْهَامَ وَالسَّبَّابَةَ، وَفَرَّجَ بَيْنَهُمَا - قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ، قَالَ مُوسَى لِفَتَاهُ: آتِنَا غَدَاءَنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِنْ سَفَرِنَا هَذَا نَصَبًا قَالَ: وَلَمْ يَجِدِ النَّصَبَ حَتَّى جَاوَزَ حَيْثُ أُمِرَ. قَالَ ذَلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِ فَارْتَدَّا عَلَى آثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا يَقُصَّانِ آثَارَهُمَا. قَالَ: وَكَانَ لِمُوسَى أَثَرُ الْحُوتِ عَجَبًا، وَلِلْحُوتِ سَرَبًا

✧ Even Nawf claims that Moses ﷺ was not the companion of Khidr. He said: The enemy of Allah has lied! Ubayy b. Ka'b narrated to us from the Prophet ﷺ: Moses ﷺ stood as a preacher among the Children of Israel and was asked: Which of the people is most knowledgeable? He said: I am. Allah reproached him for not attributing knowledge to Him, saying: Rather, there is a servant of Mine at the meeting of the two seas who is more knowledgeable than you. He said: O Lord, how can I find him? He said: Take a fish and put it in a basket, then set out; wherever you lose it, he will be there. Moses set out with his servant, walking, until they reached the rock. Moses ﷺ slept, and the fish flopped in the basket, got out, and fell into the sea. Allah held back the flow of water from it like an arch, and it was a tunnel for the fish.—Sufyan said: He joined the thumb and forefinger and spread them apart.—They set off until the next day, Moses said to his servant: Bring us our meal; we have certainly met with fatigue from this journey of ours. He said: He had not felt fatigue until he had passed beyond where he was commanded. He said: That is what we were seeking. So they retraced their footsteps, following their tracks, tracing their footprints. He said: The trace of the fish was a wonder for Moses, and it was a tunnel for the fish.
